Verdict

FALCON EIGHT gave weight and a beating to Shanroe in the Irish Cesarewitch here 4 weeks ago and receives 7 lb from Karl Thornton's charge this time so he's very hard to get away from in a race which should be dominated by the pair.

  1. FALCON EIGHT (IRE)
  2. SHANROE
  3. SEA APPEAL (IRE)
