Verdict

SAY IT SO is handicapped to win and shaped well having been left with plenty to do at Limerick last time, so he's the obvious choice in a thin race. Macinamillion is well treated returning to the Flat and deserves plenty of respect, while Hungry Rock isn't without hope dropped in grade.

  2. MACINAMILLION (IRE)
  3. HUNGRY ROCK (IRE)
