Verdict
GREENPANDA is the only course and distance winner in the line-up having scored from 3lb lower in September. He returned to action over a trip too short at Gowran last week and gets the nod in a very tricky finale. Maunganui has never won but has gradually dropped to a winnable mark while Misty Millie looks capable of a big effort after a very good run over hurdles at Punchestown. Danehill Quest continues in good form though his only victory came over a mile but the lightly-raced Prize Winner ran his best race to date on similar going over the trip at Leopardstown and a repeat would see him go close.
