Verdict

IRISH PANTHER and Al Gasparo both look capable of winning a race of this nature, while Sionnach Eile would be a big threat if translating his useful Flat form to this sphere at the first attempt. Though a shade disappointing when beaten over 14 lengths at Thurles on his latest start in November, Irish Panther gets the nod. It's unlikely that he faces a rival of the same level of ability as the winner of that Thurles race (Daddy Long Legs) here. Lieber Nicc will be a threat if getting a run.

  1. IRISH PANTHER
  2. AL GASPARO (FR)
  3. SIONNACH EILE (IRE)
