Verdict
Mac Cennetig has his first run for Micky Hammond having run a fine race at Thurles on his final start for Joseph O’Brien in October. He must have every chance of going one better but VISERION took a big step forward when racing prominently at Carlisle and his win at Wetherby in the spring is the best form on offer. Cape Of Glory has been beaten off lower marks in his last two here and at Kelso while Discoverie has been beaten in sellers this year.
