Verdict

AINGEAL DORCHA has a much-reduced mark to work with these days and last week's near miss over a slightly shorter trip here suggests he's ready to take advantage. Rock Ya Boy Ya is very well handicapped if he can translate this autumn's hurdle improvement back to the Flat. Ado McGuinness pair Jawhary and Doctor Grace complete the shortlist.

  1. AINGEAL DORCHA (IRE)
