VERBAL FENCING is improving in leaps and bounds and is taken to complete the hat-trick, perhaps at the main expense of San Martino, who remains with potential following a good second at Listowel. Snowy Owl is another who may yet do better so is also feared.

  1. VERBAL FENCING (IRE)
  2. SAN MARTINO (IRE)
  3. SNOWY OWL (IRE)
