Verdict

YABASS can register his first victory in Listed company by taking this 1m5f contest. The selection finished runner-up in handicap company over further last time and he is taken to get the better of Leopardstown maiden winner Southern France who looks the pick of Aidan O'Brien's three runners. Whirling Dervish ran well to finish second on his seasonal return and he is taken to claim third.
  1. Yabass
  2. Southern France
  3. Whirling Dervish
