Verdict

GAMIGIN has an 8 lb weights rise to overcome but Noel Kelly's thriving 6-y-o is still fancied to complete a hat-trick given the smoothness of his two successes at Ayr and Down Royal. The much less exposed Magic Olinger has better days ahead of him and heads the list of dangers, although a solid case can also be made for the likes of Coillte Aris, Clear The Clouds and Milk Market.

  1. GAMIGIN (IRE)
