Senecia (9/4), Intent Approach (5/2), Doctor Parnassus (6/1), Mercury Mission (6/1), Pakens Rock (15/2), Cougar (8/1), Little Mixup (12/1), Cerberus (12/1), Marvel Fan (16/1), Clonshire River (16/1), Yulong Voice (16/1), Zoffanien (18/1)

Verdict

PAKENS ROCK shows no signs of letting up at the age of eleven and is weighted to garner a fourth success of the season on the back of his stylish course victory last time out. Charles Byrnes' Intent Approach appeals as a likely improver now going into handicaps and rates the chief threat, with Cerberus and Little Mixup appealing as the pick of the remainder for place purposes.

  1. PAKENS ROCK (IRE)
  2. INTENT APPROACH (IRE)
  3. CERBERUS
