Verdict

VA VA VROOM was narrowly denied on debut despite looking green and, with the scope for improvement, she has an excellent chance of opening her account at the second attempt. Dignam and Green Brothers are notable newcomers from the Joseph O'Brien yard, so both are respected.

  1. VA VA VROOM (IRE)
  2. DIGNAM (IRE)
