Verdict

CEANNDANA was value for extra over the winning distance when a smooth winner at Downpatrick last week and a penalty seems most unlikely to prevent a very bold follow-up bid. Dragon's Pass and Hard Target are reliable operators at this level and are a couple of potential dangers.

  1. CEANNDANA (IRE)
  2. DRAGON'S PASS (IRE)
  3. HARD TARGET (IRE)
