Verdict

Plenty of these have met before and its BELOW DECK who makes most appeal returned to the minimum trip and with blinkers tried for just a second time. Bonny Power took a big step back in the right direction when third over C&D 6 weeks ago so Eddie Lynam's filly could give the selection most to think about, with Hero of The Hour and Samrogue another couple worth considering in an open-looking sprint to kick off proceedings.

  1. BELOW DECK (IRE)
  2. BONNY POWER (IRE)
  3. HERO OF THE HOUR
