Verdict

GRAND CITY HALL caught the eye in what was probably a decent maiden at Naas so could be the answer. Megarry should be suited by the drop back in trip given how he shaped at Galway so is another to consider, while Perfect Judgement showed plenty to work on when second to a well-touted Ballydoyle newcomer at Naas.

  1. GRAND CITY HALL (IRE)
