Verdict

FLY SMART hasn't been seen since a promising second in a juvenile at Auteuil in 2018, but he's in excellent hands, so is still expected to improve on that initial outing over timber. Barbary Master wasted no time getting back to form at Naas and should be on the premises again with a repeat, while Salt Wind and newcomer Heisenberg are others who could feature.

  1. FLY SMART (FR)
  2. BARBARY MASTER
  3. SALT WIND (IRE)
