Verdict

Given the dearth of in-form candidates, SHELBOURNE FLYER stands out on account of his solid placed efforts at Down Royal and Leopardstown the last twice. This represents a golden opportunity for the 4-y-o to belatedly open his account. Selective Power has slipped to an attractive mark and will be a huge threat if able to get close to something akin to his peak 2024 form, while Eric Lock could be best of the rest.
