Verdict

GRANGECLARE WEST failed to fire in the Irish Gold Cup at Leopardstown but this drop in class represents a good opportunity for him to end his losing run. Three Card Brag and Spanish Harlem have done well in high-end handicaps of late and are serious threats back up in class.

  1. GRANGECLARE WEST (IRE)
  2. THREE CARD BRAG (IRE)
  3. SPANISH HARLEM (FR)
