Verdict

AYIKO produced a promising first effort when runner-up at Roscommon back in the summer and with better to come, Stuart Crawford's 4-y-o is fancied to go one better at the expense of Junker d'Allier, who was beaten only a nose by a better-placed rival over C&D last month. Malicash and Cushendun can fight out third spot.

  1. AYIKO
