Verdict

A case can be made for a few of these but RAADOBARG holds the edge on form and is taken to bag a third win of the season having not been seen to best effect at the Curragh last time. In-form course scorers Juncture and Boundless Ocean are feared most and taken to chase home Johnny Murtagh's 4-y-o in that order.

  1. RAADOBARG (IRE)
  2. JUNCTURE
  3. BOUNDLESS OCEAN (IRE)
