Verdict

LA TULIPE NOIRE got firmly back on track following 6 months off when runner-up at Ballinrobe 7 days ago, likely to have pushed the winner closer still but for conceding ground around the home turn. She earns the vote in the hope a quick turnaround doesn't catch her out. Rhythm King is also of interest back from a break and needs considering. Rumbled Again and Rio Largo complete the shortlist.

  1. LA TULIPE NOIRE (IRE)
  2. RHYTHM KING (IRE)
  3. RUMBLED AGAIN (IRE)
