Verdict

The vote goes to NICHOLAS STREET, who failed to shine at Killarney last time but it's still very early days for this 4-y-o and he is well worth another chance. Indeed, judged on earlier efforts he is likely to benefit from this step up in trip and both the first-time hood and presence of a very capable claimer in the saddle are other plus points. Sydney Cruiser is another who can be forgiven a below-par run last time and she is next on the list ahead of Hesasmoothoperator and Papa Barns.

  1. NICHOLAS STREET (IRE)
  2. SYDNEY CRUISER (IRE)
  3. HESASMOOTHOPERATOR (IRE)
