Verdict

A 6 lb rise for UNCLE ALBERT's decisive Cork success at the end of last month looks like a rare act of generosity on the part of the handicapper. He will surely take plenty of stopping if in a similar mood. Fellow 3-y-o Pepper Noir landed a Dundalk maiden last time and could be a threat on this handicap/turf debut, while Chicago Storm is also shortlisted. The likes of Spanish Tenor, Eastern Wind and Encosta would also have a big chance if on-song.

  1. UNCLE ALBERT (IRE)
  2. PEPPER NOIR (IRE)
  3. CHICAGO STORM
