Verdict

Tigris River bids to become the first back-to-back winner of this race in 35 years, while owner JP McManus isn't short on ammunition and it is noted that Barry Geraghty opts to partner Le Richebourg. Jer's Girl has been highly-tried in two Grade 1 races this year and is interesting tried in a handicap while Monarch is a potential improver. Whiskey Sour knows his way around Ballybrit and has been very consistent over timber, he may be the pick of the Mullins team, ahead of Good Thyne Tara. LEONCAVALLO was good enough to finish fifth in a Triumph Hurdle and, following an easy success at Ludlow in May could land this for a shrewd British yard.
  1. Leoncavallo
  2. Whiskey Sour
  3. Monarch
