Verdict

Plenty of deadwood in this maiden but there may well be a couple of smart prospects in MIRAZUR WEST and D B Cooper, who both found one too strong in big-field maidens at Leopardstown last month and Willie Mullins' 6-y-o is taken to emerge victorious. Interieur Cuir, who was towards the head of the betting but disappointed at Limerick last month, and Jasmin de Cotte can fight out third spot.

  1. MIRAZUR WEST (IRE)
  2. D B COOPER (IRE)
  3. INTERIEUR CUIR (FR)
