Verdict

CLEVER CURRENCY isn't the most consistent but he's down in class here and is the one to beat on the pick of his form on these terms. Kendancer and Gino Drummer Boy were first and second in a similar event at Limerick 12 days ago and head the dangers.

  1. CLEVER CURRENCY (IRE)
  2. KENDANCER (FR)
  3. GINO DRUMMER BOY (IRE)
