Verdict

Having found 23.2f too much of a test at Fairyhouse, GREAT ISLAND is appealing back over what appears to be his optimum trip and reunited with apprentice Ethan O'Sullivan. Native Gold was a close fourth on his seasonal reappearance at Navan and he is next on the list ahead of Light Parade and Cosmo Renfro, who was successful here last month.

  1. GREAT ISLAND (IRE)
  2. NATIVE GOLD (IRE)
  3. LIGHT PARADE (IRE)
