Verdict

A few with chances but JAZZY ROCK looks the way to go on the back of his good Navan second. Special Protector rates the main danger now stepping up in trip, with the handily-weighted Grann's Boy also firmly in the picture. Katonah completes the shortlist.

  1. JAZZY ROCK (IRE)
  2. SPECIAL PROTECTOR (IRE)
  3. GRANN'S BOY (IRE)
