Verdict

Although Rachael Blackmore is seemingly happy to look elsewhere GABBYS CROSS appears to hold solid claims with his latest Galway form having been boosted by the winner going in again since. Last month's Cesarewitch winner The Shunter heads the many dangers along with Jody Ted, a chase winner from a higher mark last month, and Shadow Rider.

  1. GABBYS CROSS (IRE)
  2. THE SHUNTER (IRE)
  3. JODY TED (IRE)
