Returntovendor (3/1), Nerual (9/2), Bearly Legal (13/2), Tyrrell's Succes (7/1), Theo (9/1), Optimised (10/1), Areema (10/1), Another Challenge (12/1), Time And Times (12/1), St Maxime (20/1), State Of Origin (20/1), Augher Castle (20/1), Drummullagh Rocky (25/1), Qery (25/1)
Returntovendor has been thriving of late but another hike in the ratings for his Clonmel success over a longer trip last time might be enough to anchor him. Bearly Legal would hold strong claims if replicating his chase form now switched to hurdles but that is not a certainty to occur. The vote goes to AREEMA off the back of his good second at Musselburgh recently over three-miles. If building on that effort, this contest should be within his compass dropping slightly in trip. Nerual should go well while Augher Castle is worth a look in the market having gone close at this meeting a year ago and former course winner Theo would have claims if putting his latest sub-par effort behind him.
