Verdict

JOHN CANNON was unlucky to bump into one when runner-up in a big field at Punchestown when last seen in May and is taken to go one place better. Pinkerton looked a decent prospect when making a winning start in a Down Royal bumper and is the obvious threat.

  1. JOHN CANNON
  2. PINKERTON (IRE)
  3. LAYLA'S DAFFODIL (IRE)
