Verdict

It was hard not to be taken by the manner of BON PAPA's bumper success at Fairyhouse and he looks to have a bright future ahead. It will be a major surprise should he not maintain unbeaten way now. French Flat winner Cap York is one of the more appealing options for place terms after a pleasing debut effort while Robbina knows how to hit the frame too. Optimised is given a chance stepping up in trip while Sizing At Midnight is respected for connections on debut. 1. Bon Papa 2. Cap York 3. Optimised
