Verdict

An ultra-competitive finale with several holding sound claims, including 3-y-o POWERFUL AGGIE. A cosy winner back from a break at Killarney 2 weeks ago, she's only 4 lb higher here allowing for her rider's claim and there may well be more to come from Joseph O'Brien's filly. Last-time-out winner's Phoenix Cowboy, Yafordadoe and and Rebellito head up the dangers.

  1. POWERFUL AGGIE (FR)
  2. PHOENIX COWBOY (USA)
  3. YAFORDADOE (IRE)
