Verdict

Historically a race worth following and this may go the way of two-time bumper winner MINELLA EMPEROR who improved from hurdles debut to finish third in a useful maiden at Limerick and receives a handy 5 lb from the field. Last-time-out maiden winners Espresso Milan and Sept Etoiles represent powerful yards, and both can improve for this step up in trip.

  1. MINELLA EMPEROR (IRE)
  2. ESPRESSO MILAN (IRE)
  3. SEPT ETOILES (FR)
