Verdict

BURREN SONG shaped much better than the result when fourth on his handicap debut over C&D in December, following which both horse and jockey were handed suspensions by the stewards. He is almost certainly capable of better than his current mark implies and is the most appealing of these. El C Wells put in a good shift back from a break here 3 weeks ago and is second choice ahead of Lady of Luxury.

  1. BURREN SONG (IRE)

  3. LADY OF LUXURY (IRE)
