Verdict

HALE BOPP ran out a convincing winner on handicap debut at Cork and the runner-up has completed a double subsequently, so there's every reason to think he can go in again provided a wide draw doesn't scupper him. Alhaazm also arrives firmly on the up, while Eagle's Flight is another one worthy of respect in a highly-competitive sprint.

  1. HALE BOPP (IRE)
  2. ALHAAZM
