Verdict

JOHN CANNON proved no match for a promising sort at Thurles on his most recent start but he was nicely clear of the remainder himself that day and could well be up to making it fourth time lucky in this sphere. Vinnie Is Busy is an intriguing contender back from an absence and the betting should prove a useful guide assessing his claims. Peaceful Sunday completes the shortlist.

  1. JOHN CANNON
  2. VINNIE IS BUSY (IRE)
  3. PEACEFUL SUNDAY (FR)
