Verdict

This can go to THE MARTY PARTY, who showed much improved form switched to positive tactics when second on nursery debut at Killarney 2 weeks ago and the drop back down in trip won't inconvenience him on that evidence. Weegeebear and Kitty Bear are others to consider,

  1. THE MARTY PARTY (IRE)
  2. WEEGEEBEAR (IRE)
  3. KITTY BEAR (IRE)
