Verdict

MEPHISTO shaped well on his return from six months off when fourth at Dundalk last month and rates the pick of the weights off an 8 lb lower mark here so looks the way to go. Maxwell Smart didn't enjoy the rub of the green when ninth at Leopardstown last time and could emerge as the main danger, with Tassarolo, Fine Print and Jurality also in the picture in this very open handicap.

  1. MEPHISTO (IRE)
  2. MAXWELL SMART (IRE)
  3. TASSAROLO
