Verdict

PINBALL WIZARD did well under the circumstances when third over a mile at Cork last time and, with this step back up in trip a good move, he looks the way to go. If on-song Gunsight would have a serious chance and handicap debutant Carlo Bianconi is also shortlisted.

  1. PINBALL WIZARD (IRE)
  2. GUNSIGHT (IRE)
  3. CARLO BIANCONI (FR)
