Verdict

JUSTICIALISM arrives at the top of his game and might be able to provide Noel Kelly with a second successive win in this. Kalsman beat the selection at Down Royal and ought to give another good account for all he's not certain to get an easy lead this time. Ian Donoghue's new recruit Stonecarthy, King Gris and low-mileage 6-y-o Lecale's Diamond complete the shortlist.
