Verdict

COINS CROSS should strip fitter for his recent Curragh return and can capitalise on a good mark with the blinkers now back on. Both Might And Mercy and Dazzling Spirit didn't enjoy the rub of the green on their most recent starts and appeal as the duo to give the selection most to do in that order.

  1. COINS CROSS (IRE)
  2. MIGHT AND MERCY
  3. DAZZLING SPIRIT (IRE)
