Verdict

CAVALRY MASTER took a big step back in the right direction fitted in this headgear when second at Gowran 2 weeks ago and is potentially on a good mark if building on that. Where's Frankie and Pictures of Home are feared most.

  1. CAVALRY MASTER (IRE)
  2. WHERE'S FRANKIE (IRE)
  3. PICTURES OF HOME
