Verdict

A few with chances but CEALLACH rates the pick of these weights so edges the vote at the chief expense of Aurora Princess, who wasn't seen to best effect when third at Gowran last time. Recent scorers Cozone and Star Harbour both warrant plenty of respect too in this open handicap.

  1. CEALLACH (IRE)
  2. AURORA PRINCESS (IRE)
