James The Brave (7/4), Peaceinthevalley (9/2), Supreme Jet (6/1), River Vale (13/2), Kings Hill (7/1), Doyen Magic (9/1), Kilbrin Rocco (11/1), Choccabloc (22/1)

Verdict

RIVER VALE had the race at his mercy when coming to grief at the last at Thurles 3 weeks ago and, raised 4 lb on the back of that, he's fancied to gain deserved compensation. Doyen Magic and James The Brave may emerge as the chief dangers.

  1. RIVER VALE (IRE)
  2. DOYEN MAGIC (IRE)
