Verdict

Cases can be made for several and at the likely prices it could be worth taking a chance on CAUSE I LIKE YOU, who shaped as if back in form in refitted cheekpieces when fifth at Ballinrobe recently and this return to 1m should be a big help. Dream Legend upped his game in the spring, and he looks a significant threat having been freshened up since, with Fontaine Khaled and Due In June rounding off the shortlist.
