Slugger (11/8), Quaresome (2/1), The Kalooki Kid (9/2), Belle Of Annandale (8/1), Moarins Moarnin (14/1), Kells (33/1), Gainsbourg (40/1), Conquer The Breeze (80/1), Miss Arabella (80/1), Woogrey (100/1), Golden Valour (125/1), Mekbat (300/1)

Verdict

QUARESOME's last effort is best excused and he'd looked highly promising prior to that, so he's well worth another chance. Slugger looks a threat on the back of a comfortable winning start over hurdles and Belle of Annandale isn't one to write off.

  1. QUARESOME (IRE)
  2. SLUGGER
  3. BELLE OF ANNANDALE (IRE)
