Verdict
Clongowes is fit from the Flat but there is no reason why last month’s Perth winner JAUNTY SORIA (NAP) won’t run her race again as she has already won around here. Gerboise Borget is 0-8 and fell last time but often attracts market support while Alberic looks a consistent sort who should be capable of picking up a race like this in the near future. Antony was a decent chaser in his heyday but isn’t the force of old.
