Verdict

Following some underwhelming efforts over hurdles, SO MESSI ran up to his best returned to the Flat when third at Leopardstown 3 weeks ago and, still fairly lightly raced in this sphere, he could be up to defying this sort of mark. Fleetfootsoldier, Adhuil and Atbay are others to consider.

  1. SO MESSI (IRE)
  2. FLEETFOOTSOLDIER (IRE)
  3. ADHUIL (IRE)
