Verdict

Jessica Harrington has dominated this 3-y-o handicap in recent years and perhaps CRUDEN has been saved for this since his Limerick maiden success in May. Ephesus and Brosna Town are other last-time-out maiden winners who could have more to offer in handicaps and make the shortlist along with the hat-trick seeking Empress Alma.

  1. CRUDEN
  2. EPHESUS (IRE)
  3. BROSNA TOWN (IRE)
