Verdict

REAL EMPIRE showed a bit of promise at Naas last time and gets the vote in a race where nothing arrives with particularly compelling claims. Noel Meade's Mickey Cohen could improve in handicaps and is second choice ahead of Bayou Belle.

  1. REAL EMPIRE
  2. MICKEY COHEN (IRE)
  3. BAYOU BELLE (IRE)
