Verdict

GENERAL PRINCIPLE sets the standard on paper having got off the mark in good style last time at Gowran Park and he is entitled to hold strong claims going up in trip. The race doesn't have a lot of depth but All Hell Let Loose is respected having been pitched into a Cheltenham handicap on his first start of the campaign. Carrigeen Acebo is the best of the rest although she may struggle for now to add to last month's shock win at Thurles.
