Verdict

PAIRC NA NGAEL scored cosily at Thurles last month and might be up to making light of a 9 lb rise in the weights. Henry de Bromhead's Sovereign Gold might be sharper for a comeback run here at the start of the month and is feared most ahead of Ragnar Lodbrok, who has scope off this opening chase mark mark based on hurdle ability.

  1. PAIRC NA NGAEL (IRE)
  2. SOVEREIGN GOLD (IRE)
  3. RAGNAR LODBROK (IRE)
