Verdict

Gordon Elliott's LAZARE DE STAR finished some way clear of the remainder when bumping into a very useful prospect on Rules debut and looks the one to beat on that effort. Le Moulin Rouge came from further back than the others in the frame when third at Wexford on his hurdles bow and is most feared of those with experience, though Mighty Park is a particularly interesting newcomer for the Mullins/McManus combination.
