Verdict

Michael Mulvany has his team in form so LA DAME BLANCHE gets the nod to build on her back-to-form second at Naas earlier in the month. Alfalfa was narrowly behind the selection at Naas and is second choice ahead of Bridge of Dawn and Patrick Street.

  1. LA DAME BLANCHE (IRE)
  2. ALFALFA (IRE)
  3. BRIDGE OF DAWN (IRE)
