Verdict

Not an easy race to weigh up, with most of the form on offer from the pointing field. SOLDIER OF ROCK was a facile winner of his latest start between the flags and is more appealing than most. Toucan Sam is the one with the best form under Rules and, having finished a clear second in a point last time, he is feared most ahead of Bentley Road and Red Opium.

  1. SOLDIER OF ROCK (IRE)
  2. TOUCAN SAM
  3. BENTLEY ROAD (IRE)
