Verdict

DAZZLING DARREN arrives at the top of his game and is fancied to complete his hat-trick after an emphatic Down Royal success three weeks ago. Amlad is feared most on the back of his recent Wexford win, with Decimal Day worth a second look in his bid for a maiden victory.

  1. DAZZLING DARREN (IRE)
