Verdict

An open-looking contest in which preference is for ASMEN WARRIOR, who has found one too strong in 5 of his 7 starts for current connections but his latest Windsor effort represented a significant step forward. With first-time blinkers applied, he can gain a first handicap success at the expense of Stem, who is entitled to be sharper for his return and forecast conditions are in his favour. Mister Winston, Celeborn and Man of La Mancha are just a handful who may also feature, too.

  1. ASMEN WARRIOR (IRE)
  2. STEM (IRE)
  3. MISTER WINSTON
