Verdict

Plenty with chances but MILLHONE arrives on the up and is fancied to build on a very good Cork second and gain a first success at the chief expense of Jessica Harrington's new German recruit Wie Wunderbar who could prove handily weighted and is worth monitoring in the betting. Amavasya, Tero D'Rosa and Derry Lad all need factoring into this open handicap too.

  1. MILLHONE (IRE)
