Verdict

SEIGE OF TROY was still in need of the experience but seemed to finish with running left having taken time to hit full stride when fourth at Gowran (9.4f) 12 days ago. Still very much one to be positive about, she can make it third time lucky. Rock of Ireland is a player on the pick of his form and feared on debut for his new yard. Newcomers Hampshire and Il Sovrano are others to note.
