Verdict

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and it could pay to side with OOGUM BOOGUM who comes here in very good form over hurdles and can race off a lower mark here back chasing. Roscommon scorer Kilkee Bay rates the obvious threat, while The Border Boy and Parkgarve also need factoring in.

  1. OOGUM BOOGUM (IRE)
  2. KILKEE BAY (IRE)
  3. THE BORDER BOY (IRE)
