Verdict

DIAMOND DOLLAR wasn't seen to best effect (left with too much to do) at Limerick on his most recent outing and is capable of better still, so he's put forward as the answer. Chosen Shant is expected to be on the premises once again, with the unexposed Bigira completing the shortlist.

  1. DIAMOND DOLLAR (IRE)
  2. CHOSEN SHANT (IRE)
  3. BIGIRA (FR)
