Verdict

Plenty are in with a shout but THE BANGER DOYLE goes into handicaps off a handy-looking mark so is fancied to gain a first success in this sphere. Ishan is next on the list on the back of his recent Limerick success, with Dragon's Pass, Penny Jar and From The Ashes all in the mix too.

  1. THE BANGER DOYLE (IRE)
  2. ISHAN (FR)
  3. DRAGON'S PASS (IRE)
