Verdict

SAFECRACKER looks to hold the key to this handicap as he is able to race off the same mark as when a very good second at Leopardstown and again sports the hood he wore there for the first time. In-form One Cool Poet seems sure to be on the premises so is rated next best ahead of handicap debutant Inuit.

  2. ONE COOL POET (IRE)
  3. INUIT (FR)
