Verdict

This is wide open. NAVY WATERS made a promising return when third at Navan so is taken to build on it and edge out Mocking who also shaped well on his first run of the season when sixth at the Curragh. Zoffman, Genoah and Thatwilldoso all need factoring into this highly competitive handicap too.

  1. NAVY WATERS (IRE)
  2. MOCKING (IRE)
  3. ZOFFMAN (IRE)
