Verdict

Your Own Story will shoulder a penalty if making a quick reappearance following his win over 3m at Carlisle on Thursday, though was just beaten over track and trip on his debut under Rules when a couple of lengths ahead of Gaillimh A Stor. HASTY BROOK is having a first run for Rebecca Menzies but his new stable is in good form and he easily won a Clonmel maiden in January when trained by Joseph O’Brien. Ballycoose won over 2m here in December but was then pulled up at Down Royal and Leitrim Chief has switched stables since a third at Navan and looks a chasing type.
