Verdict

This looks wide open and it could be worth chancing STAR OF CASHEL, who has dipped to an attractive mark and signalled that his turn could be near when fifth off a 2 lb higher mark at Tipperary recently. Kodiac Prince resumed winning ways over a mile here last time and remains feasibly treated following a 5 lb rise, so he has to enter the reckoning. Fellow last-time-out winner Focus Required also has claims, along with Dare To Flare and S'all Good Man, who has been knocking on the door of late.

  1. STAR OF CASHEL (IRE)
  2. KODIAC PRINCE (IRE)
  3. FOCUS REQUIRED (IRE)
