Verdict

FEATURE THIS made an encouraging return from a lay-off when sixth in a big field at Leopardstown last time out, fading only late on, so is fancied to bag a third success of 2023 here. Alqabeela is still to register a victory but feared most after resuming with a promising eighth in the same contest. Patrick Street and Prince of Abington appeal as the pick of the rest for minor honours.
