Verdict

Preference is for BARNACULLIA, who took a step back in the right direction when fifth at Bellewstown recently and, just 2 lb higher than for his Leopardstown success last summer, he's on a workable mark. Zoffanien has acquitted himself well in handicaps at Galway and Killarney since returned to this sphere and looks sure to be involved once more, while Belgoprince is also shortlisted.

  1. BARNACULLIA (IRE)
  2. ZOFFANIEN (IRE)
  3. BELGOPRINCE (FR)
