Verdict
BROOKLYN NINE NINE hasn’t raced since October but has much the strongest form. A runner-up in both starts last year, he separated a couple of subsequent winners at Yarmouth last time so Richard Fahey’s charge looks the one to beat. Without a win in Ireland, Lord Abama has switched yards while Al Najada and Dan De Man Can drop down in distance. Rubellite is a likely improver of the remainder.
