Verdict

THE GALAHAD KID made a promising start in this sphere when runner-up at Southwell and looks to hold strong claims of adding to his two bumper successes with more to come. Donald McCain's duo Trick of The Tail and Queen of Hindsight appeal most of the remainder and can chase home Fergal O'Brien's son of Quest For Peace in that order.

  1. THE GALAHAD KID (IRE)
  2. TRICK OF THE TAIL (IRE)
  3. QUEEN OF HINDSIGHT (IRE)
