Verdict

This looks quite an open race on paper but the eye is drawn to the unexposed pair HOW'STHEBAI and Loughrea. Preference is for the former, whose form has been well advertised this season, with the latter interesting now switching to handicaps. The class-dropping Aviatrice can't be discounted out of hand, either.
