Echoes In Rain (2/1), Falcon Eight (11/4), Final Gesture (7/2), Jesse Evans (9/2), Shanroe (14/1), Typewriter (14/1), Powerful Aggie (28/1)

Verdict

The classy FALCON EIGHT arrives on the back of an excellent second in the Irish Cesarewitch and, if he can repeat that form he should be landing this. Echoes In Rain is an obvious threat and Shanroe is worthy of consideration on the back of a career-best effort.

  1. FALCON EIGHT (IRE)
  2. ECHOES IN RAIN (FR)
  3. SHANROE
