Verdict

Plenty are in with a shout but the nod goes to JOURNEY SO FAR who appeals as a likely improver now going into handicaps for the shrewd Gavin Cromwell team and can gain a breakthrough success. River Vale also looks to have better days ahead of him and heads the list of dangers, although a solid case can also be made for Kilbrin Rocco, Luimneach and West of Carrig in this highly competitive event.
