Verdict

ALEX BELARDO returned to form when fourth over C&D last time and still only 1 lb above his last winning mark, he may be able to open his account for the year in a change of headgear. Hale Bopp went down by just a short-head here on latest start and merits respect off 2 lb higher, while Una Matata won over C&D last week and should be in the mix again in the same grade. Of the rest, Launch Time has been shaping well on turf, while Yquem and Miss Abby Jools warrant a market check.

  1. ALEX BELARDO (IRE)
  2. HALE BOPP (IRE)
  3. UNA MATATA (IRE)
