Verdict

A deep novice for the time of year with a host of improvers in opposition. NINTH TITAN showed more of what he's about at the second time of asking over hurdles/after 10 months off when running out an easy winner at Tramore 61 days ago and he shades the vote to build on that. Heroes Rise, Femme Magnifique and Going Live are others to consider, with Born Braver also in the mix.

  1. NINTH TITAN (IRE)
  2. HEROES RISE (IRE)
  3. FEMME MAGNIFIQUE (IRE)
