Count Simon (9/4), Ballybrowney Jack (7/2), Statistical (9/2), Golden Poet (6/1), I've Got Rhythm (8/1), Try Again (14/1), Mary Sun (14/1), Duke's Girl (25/1)

Verdict

COUNT SIMON can add to his bold show at Tramore earlier this month finishing second of 15 beaten 4L on good ground and land the spoils here with impressive Wexford victor Ballybrowney Jack set to continue his improvement in this contest. The Denis Hogan-trained Golden Poet and the Gigginstown House Stud-owned Statistical can battle for the minors.
  1. Count Simon
