Verdict

This can go to VINCY, who looks to have plenty more to offer and who has only been beaten by one horse in two starts, with that horse having recently scored in Group 3 company in Britain. He got off the mark at Dundalk last time in good style, and was probably better value than the official winning distance of a length suggests. If proving as effective on grass for this turf debut, he is taken to record a second career win here, at the expense of Windsor Beach, who has been running well in defeat in weaker races than this, and Cirin Toinne , who acquitted herself well in Listed company last time.
