Givemefive (11/10), Pay The Piper (3/1), Ballygeary (4/1), Jericoacoara (5/1)
An ordinary race for the grade and none of the quartet look rock-solid. Having successfully made the running as a novice, connections of GIVEMEFIVE may opt to employ those tactics again and that could give him a tactical edge in such a small field. If he can return to anything like his early season form, he should take the beating in a first-time tongue tie. Ballygeary is fairly handicapped if he can bounce back from an underwhelming effort last time, with course-winner Pay The Piper next best.
