Verdict

A wide-open closing contest with the vote going to ODD VENTURE. He raced closer to the strong pace than was ideal when a well-beaten fourth at Navan 12 days ago and, with Seamie Heffernan taking over from an inexperienced claimer, he's taken to double his career tally. Hat-trick seeking Fennor Cross could provide the main threat, ahead of Slieve Bearnagh and Miss Louise.

  1. ODD VENTURE (IRE)
  2. FENNOR CROSS (IRE)
  3. SLIEVE BEARNAGH (IRE)
