Verdict

Loads to consider in this big-field opener with the narrow vote in favour of INTERSKY SUNSET. A winner over further here in November, she again shaped well whilst arguably left with too much to do when third at Clonmel 2 weeks ago and she remains of interest from this sort of mark. The Truant and Benjis Benefit are others of interest, with Champagne Mahler and Diamond Dollar another couple to note.
