Verdict

Although beaten last time at Down Royal in December, TOUCH OF OSCAR can improve on a promising effort at this venue earlier over 2m½f when second of 15 beaten 4½L behind Niccolai. The Joseph O'Brien-trained six-year-old appears primed for his handicap debut with Three Is Company for trainer Denis Hogan and the Michael Winters-trained, Bitsandpieces likely to be his biggest threats.
  1. Touch Of Oscar
  2. Three Is Company
  3. Bitsandpieces
