Verdict
BARBADOS ran in the Irish St Leger last season before winning one of these events over 1m6f here and Jessica Harringtons' charge is the one to beat in this. Dance Jupiter is another with leading claims at this level while The Gossiper has been winning bumpers for Emmet Mullins though he was well held at Sligo on his first try at this game. Belsanndi is a fascinating debutant for Eddie O’Grady. A winner for Alain de Royer-Dupre in France, he went for decent money at the Arqana Sales in 2019 though has clearly had issues that have prevented him making the racecourse.
