Verdict

AN PEANN DEARG wasted no time getting back on track when runner-up to a subsequent winner at Wexford in October and could be the answer now returned to handicap company. Affordale Fury shaped as if amiss when last seen 13 months ago but retains plenty of potential as a chaser, with old rivals The King of Prs and The Folkes Tiara completing the shortlist.

  1. AN PEANN DEARG (IRE)
  2. AFFORDALE FURY (IRE)
  3. THE KING OF PRS (IRE)
