In depth
Verdict
VERDANSK is the most exposed but has placed in handicaps on the all-weather on more than one occasion and returns to this level with every chance. Hombre can figure if building on a recent debut third here while Mapogo finished a well-beaten second on his debut on the Flat and Cobh Harbour has placed over shorter trips. Thats Dandy Harry is a newcomer to note.
