Verdict

THEDANCINGFARRIER signalled he's ready to end a lengthy losing run when a good second at Cork last time out and holds much the best form on show so gets the vote. Course winner McGrath From Clune rates the main danger to the selection, with last year's victor Added Bonus appealing as the pick of the rest.
