Verdict

BALLIN BAY and Enemy At The Gate came clear of the remainder when dominating the finish at Kelso three weeks ago and they're taken to fill the first two positions again, with Pauline Robson's charge fancied to confirm that form.

  1. BALLIN BAY (IRE)
  2. ENEMY AT THE GATE (IRE)
  3. HERE COMES MCCOY (IRE)
