Verdict

DESERT CAVE improved markedly for the longer trip when landing a 16-runner event at Kilbeggan last time and he's worth a chance to defy a hefty rise even in this more competitive event. Mister Beeton is likely to be on the premises again and So They Tell Me looks the pick of J. P. McManus' representatives.

  1. DESERT CAVE (IRE)
  2. MISTER BEETON (IRE)
  3. SO THEY TELL ME (IRE)
