Verdict

This is wide open but SAFFRONANDBLUE looked better than ever when going in at Sligo last time so is taken to make light of a 7 lb rise and complete his hat-trick. Master Dunraven is weighted to have a say and next on the list, with Gibbs Island, Red Trail and Bear Profit also well in the mix. Copie Conforme completes the shortlist.

  1. SAFFRONANDBLUE (IRE)
  2. MASTER DUNRAVEN (IRE)
  3. GIBBS ISLAND
