Verdict

This looks wide open but FLICKER OF HOPE comes here on the back of a ready Wexford victory so edges the vote. Handiap-debuant Malbay Madness rates the main danger with better to come, although the likes of Harley Street, Ahead of The Posse, Vischio and Golden Sandbanks all need factoring in too.

  1. FLICKER OF HOPE (FR)
  2. MALBAY MADNESS (IRE)
  3. HARLEY STREET (IRE)
