Verdict

Hard to have much confidence in any of these. SYRIAN never looked like winning when trained in Ireland last year but won three times at this track in 2011 and, after a pipe-opener for new connections over too short a trip here on Monday, he could prove good enough. Chosen Forever has been in woeful form of late and is consequently dropped in class. He has every chance at the weights with veteran West End Lad looking best of the remaining bunch who all have plenty to find.
