Verdict

BY YOUR SIDE has had plenty of chances, but he continues to progress with experience so gets the nod to open his account at the expense of The Lovely Man, who shaped well in a couple of maiden hurdles in recent months and remains capable of better still. Night Sparkle, Red Trail and Step Into My Shoes are a handful of others to consider in a contest where the market will no doubt prove informative.

  1. BY YOUR SIDE
  2. THE LOVELY MAN (IRE)
  3. NIGHT SPARKLE (IRE)
