The vote goes to SLIEVE BEARNAGH, who hasn't hit the target in this sphere since September 2023 but he was in good heart over hurdles last year and resumes on the Flat on an appealing mark for his new yard. Higher Kingdom shaped well at Gowran last week and is second choice, with Si Senior also shortlisted.
