Verdict

Having finished runner-up twice in this sphere last year, CHARLIE LUCIANO gets the verdict to go one better arriving on the back of a spin on the level at Dundalk early last month. Starman was a very disappointing favourite at Clonmel last month, but he may well get back on track here, with Up And Out and He Picked Us another couple to consider.

  1. CHARLIE LUCIANO (IRE)
  2. STARMAN (FR)
  3. UP AND OUT (IRE)
