Verdict

HURRICANE CLIFF opened his chase account in good style at Limerick three weeks ago and looks capable of defying a 9 lb rise in the weights. He gets the nod ahead of Figaroc, who was behind Mount Frisco at Gowran earlier this month but he is 2 lb better off with that rival now and may well emerge as the main danger this time. Pats Choice was back in fifth in that Gowran handicap but would be a threat were he to put his best foot forward.

  1. HURRICANE CLIFF (IRE)
  2. FIGAROC (FR)
  3. MOUNT FRISCO (IRE)
