Verdict

While it's a concern that JAAFEL has yet to strike on turf following 22 attempts, he is clearly effective on grass and could be worth chancing on the back of a very encouraging effort at Leopardstown last week. Carlo Bianconi was first past the post in a Sligo handicap last month and looks very dangerous off the same mark, while Take Heart is third choice. Taipan also merits respect and will be a threat if fit enough to do himself justice.

  1. JAAFEL (IRE)
  2. CARLO BIANCONI (FR)
  3. TAKE HEART (IRE)
