Verdict

MYTHICAL ROCK has never won in 19 starts but shaped as if back in form when third at Bellewstown 8 days ago, not getting a clear run. With cheekpieces back on, he can build on that effort. Rock Etoile hinted at a return to form when fourth in the same race. Kitty Bear wasn't given a hard time on return from a break and could improve.

  1. MYTHICAL ROCK (IRE)
  2. ROCK ETOILE (IRE)
  3. KITTY BEAR (IRE)
