Verdict

IRISHCORRESPONDENT made a very impressive start on the track last month at Leopardstown, easily accounting for his rivals over this trip in a maiden. He should be at home in better company and with some lofty entries in the book, could prove more than capable of winning this contest with likely improvement to come. Homesman is respected having got off the mark last time at Limerick over a much longer journey while Percy also has the credentials for winning this. In truth, none of the quartet are easily ruled out and the market could prove an invaluable tool.
