Verdict

CHEERS AGAIN drops in grade on the back of some solid efforts in handicap company, including in a valuable event at Dundalk on most recent outing, so he’s a straightforward choice. Theophilos and Dun An Oir are a couple with place claims.

  1. CHEERS AGAIN
  2. THEOPHILOS (IRE)
  3. DUN AN OIR (IRE)
