Liathroidisneachta gets the confident vote here with Koral Bay and White On Black rating the main dangers. The selection was a good second behind Glasker Mill last time out. That form has since been franked and he need only run up to that mark to win this. Koral Bay rates the main danger on his latest second behind Sonnengold. However he has had plenty of chances without taking one and is becoming expensive to follow. White On Black was a fair fourth behind Straw Bear on his debut. This looks easier and with improvement likely he should be watched in the market as he hails from a shrewd yard. The remainder have shown very little and are readily opposed and in a race where few can be fancied for the winner we return to Liathroidisneachta.
