Verdict

COEUR D’OR returned to action in this contest last year and wasn’t beaten far in fourth. He ended the season with a close-up third over track and trip and should be in the mix again. A Shin Undine won over a longer trip at Gowran last time while Facethepuckout ran well at Naas last week and Dagoda was narrowly beaten over 7f at Cork. Benavente has been thereabouts at Dundalk lately while both Helpmeout and Extensio return to action with a shout.
