Verdict

KEILAH threatened to come good more than once in this sphere last year and is taken to belatedly get the job done, with fitness assured and a useful 5 lb claimer booked. Connova has also been knocking on the door and rates the main danger, particularly if getting the race run to suit, while Perfect Judgement and La Campanella are respected.

  1. KEILAH (IRE)
  2. CONNOVA (IRE)
  3. PERFECT JUDGEMENT (IRE)
  4. LA CAMPANELLA (IRE)
