Verdict

Lots of these arrive with a question mark against them so SHEEPHAVEN FLYER looks the way to go nudged up only 1 lb for his very good Downpatrick third. In-form pair Tilloughna and Who's Houdini appeal as the pick of the remainder and can chase home Henry de Bromhead's low-mileage 5-y-o in that order.

  1. SHEEPHAVEN FLYER (IRE)
  2. TILLOUGHNA (IRE)
  3. WHO'S HOUDINI (IRE)
