Verdict

This is a good opportunity for GIANT HAYSTACKS to get off the mark. Indeed, he shaped well starting out for this yard in a big-field Navan handicap 16 days ago and a reproduction of that would make him hard to beat. Polly Poppins was in the process of running a big race when exiting at the second-last in a Tramore maiden last time and she will likely emerge as the main danger granted a clear round this time. Glenmalure Flyer is best of the rest.

  1. GIANT HAYSTACKS (IRE)
