Focus Point (6/4), Ballyphilip (9/2), John The Spark (7/1), Big Girl Betty (15/2), Victor Tango (11/1), Drumnasoo (12/1), Ohzark (12/1), Bold Fury (14/1), Hardy Buck (28/1), Ballinrea (33/1), Ballymoney (50/1), Cousin Zeleznik (150/1)

Verdict

BALLYPHILLIP is 4 from 4 between the flags this year and seems the obvious way to go. Focus Point should be back on his game, so he's feared along with Big Girl Betty.

  1. BALLYPHILIP (IRE)
  2. FOCUS POINT (IRE)
  3. BIG GIRL BETTY (IRE)
