Verdict

This could be a strong race for the grade with MAGNETIC NORTH taken to get his act together over hurdles and cash in on what is a generous mark given his Flat ability. Kellie's Dream is feared most, though Baby Chou is open to progress.

  1. MAGNETIC NORTH (IRE)
  2. KELLIE'S DREAM (IRE)
  3. BABY CHOU (IRE)
