Verdict

FOCUS OF ATTENTION caught the eye last month in a Navan handicap on her first start for the Joseph O'Brien yard going down by 1¾L over 5f and this extra 1f looks sure to suit the daughter of Intense Focus here. A Likely Story who appears to be improving with every run can battle for the minor honours with Caesar's Comet in first-time blinkers and Pillar who could out-run his odds.
  1. Focus Of Attention
  2. A Likely Story
  3. Caesar's Comet
