Verdict

COCK AND BULL hasn't shown a great deal so far, but his effort at Leopardstown 6 weeks ago was more encouraging and he could well prove a different proposition now heading into handicaps. He earns the vote over No Big Deal, who probably needed the outing at Cork last month and should be much closer to form here. Marian Avenue and Old Kenmare may also feature.

  1. COCK AND BULL (IRE)
  2. NO BIG DEAL (IRE)
  3. MARIAN AVENUE (IRE)
