Verdict
Wor Willie was very green here on debut in June and has been given time to mature. He and likely improver Fairmac are probably the best of those with experience, though that’s not saying much. Newmarket raider Fleur De Guy is bred to stay and will have his supporters but we’ll take a chance on BALLYCOMMON. Paul Hanagan looks a significant jockey booking for Declan Carroll’s Dabirsim colt, who is a half-brother to three winners.
