Verdict

A fairly trappy contest, with six of the seven juveniles having won last time out and three boasting unbeaten records. Dali improved him his debut run to score nicely over C&D last time and must be respected for these connections with more progress likely. True Blue Moon beat him on debut and should also be capable of more on second start. Sirici has impressed in three AW runs, winning twice, while Mamba Noire looked good visually in opening her account first time at Cork. A chance is taken with the British raider SIMMY'S COPSHOP, who won well at Nottingham on debut. It's interesting that his trainer has chosen this race and the horse that chased him home on debut has since sluiced up at Ayr, so he may prove able for this.
  1. Simmy's Copshop
  2. Dali
  3. True Blue Moon
