Verdict

It's best to draw a line through WESTON's latest run at Galway and he is interesting here with Rachael Blackmore booked having shaped well on his debut for this yard at Navan in May. Scholarship can also be forgiven for a below-par display at Galway last time and a reproduction of his previous effort at the Curragh would put him firmly in the picture. Jabbar and Thor's Hammer are both shortlisted, too.

  1. WESTON (GER)
  2. SCHOLARSHIP (IRE)
  3. JABBAR (IRE)
