Verdict

Ready preference is for DARK VIPER, who chased home an improver on his reappearance over this C&D and found only Naisiun too good over 7f at Naas next time. Back down in trip on 4 lb better terms, Dark Viper should have the measure of that rival this time. Cage Rattler took a step forward when runner-up at Leopardstown recently and should be in the mix, provided he's able to build on that, while Scarlet Dancer will have an each-way chance if ready to roll following an eight-month absence.

  1. DARK VIPER
  2. CAGE RATTLER (IRE)
  3. SCARLET DANCER (IRE)
