Verdict

If OZARK DAZE can reproduce the form he showed when second over C&D last month he might be able to finally get off the mark. Unexposed 4-y-o Soaring Sun is second choice ahead of last week's course claiming winner Benavente. Sierra de Gredos has a fine Dundalk record and is also interesting on first start for Stephen Thorne.
