Verdict

Lots with chances but DAIRY FORCE starts out for Gordon Elliott on an attractive mark and could prove the answer here dropped back in trip. Kelly's Cosmos is feared most on the back of his excellent Limerick third with Verbal Sparring, Silent Guardian and Marelly all well in the mix too. Uptaurintop completes the shortlist.
