Verdict

A chance is taken on PANA TO MILAN who was better than the result in a stronger race than this at Naas last time. Carlas Big Jim and Tingarran Express are others to consider, while handicap newcomer Flemens Intrest appeals as potential improver.

  1. PANA TO MILAN (IRE)
  2. CARLAS BIG JIM (IRE)
