Verdict

MOREPOWERTOYA can race off the same mark as when a very good recent Tipperary third so edges the vote in a competitive handicap. Riyami remains unexposed in this sphere and heads the list of dangers, although Across The Ocean, Inthenickoftime and Shraheen all command plenty of respect too. Red Trail completes the shortlist.

  1. MOREPOWERTOYA (FR)
  2. RIYAMI (IRE)
  3. ACROSS THE OCEAN (IRE)
