Verdict

CUMBERLAND RIVER left his qualifying form trailing in his wake when a comfortable winner on handicap debut at Limerick a fortnight ago and in receipt of a healthy age allowance, the follow up is firmly on the cards. Ron For Cover did it easily last time but surely won't be afforded another soft lead this time, so Take Stock could emerge as the chief threat.

  1. CUMBERLAND RIVER (IRE)
  2. TAKE STOCK (IRE)
  3. RUN FOR COVER (IRE)
