Smash Williams (5/2), Imaging (11/4), Flight Risk (10/3), Psychedelic Funk (6/1), King's Field (7/1), North Face (7/1), Fas (12/1), Damselfly (12/1), True To Herself (16/1), Julia's Magic (25/1), Excelling Spirit (25/1)

Verdict

Dual Group 3 winner Psychedelic Funk had a few of these in front last time at Tipperary but surely that run is best forgotten about, and he isn't overlooked hastily. Imaging, Flight Risk and SMASH WILLIAMS all ran well in that Group 3 event and the selection may finally get some reward for a consistent season by landing this pot.
