Verdict

Lots with chances but HIGHBURY SEE SEE is taken to build on an unlucky-in-running second at Listowel last time to follow up his victory in this event 12 months ago. Veteran Loingseoir bagged this prize twice prior to that and heads the list of dangers off a handy-looking mark, while Blue Blue Moon and Lady Arwen can also have a say in this highly competitive event.
