Verdict
Affogato won this as a three-year-old last year though only had two to beat and hasn't made the expected progress. Monaasib, beaten a neck in a Cork Listed race in September, didn't get the best of runs in a similar contest at Naas last time. PRETREVILLE was in cracking form early last summer with a Group 3 victory at Leopardstown the highlight. He has a long absence to overcome but has to be the form pick. The three-year-old Vernet, a Curragh maiden winner, showed she retains her ability with a very promising reappearance over a mile at the Curragh where she was in the lead at this trip.
