Verdict

INOTHEWAYURTHINKIN hasn't been missed in the market and with good reason on the back of an eye-catching first foray into handicaps at Leopardstown last month. He lacks experience for a race like this but his third-placed finish in Grade 1 company in Ireland suggests he can outclass these. Angels Dawn was a smooth winner of this a year ago and a bold repeat bid is on the cards, even from 11 lb higher. Irish raiders look set to dominate, with Where It All Began completing the shortlist.
