Verdict

PANA TO MILAN and Mick Charlie are both chasing hat-tricks and are likely to fight out the finish. Marginal preference is for the former, who evidently likes it here and she may have more to offer over fences. Friends N Commerce is third choice, while Paddys Planet should be all the better for his reappearance spin at Punchestown (first run for 21 months) and is also shortlisted.

  1. PANA TO MILAN (IRE)
  2. MICK CHARLIE (IRE)
  3. FRIENDS N COMMERCE (IRE)
