Verdict

George Bowen followed up a win at Newmarket with an even better effort to land a valuable sprint at the Curragh last week. There may be more to come from the grey and he's preferred to stablemates Steve Prescott and Tatlisu. The latter never figured in this last year when behind fourth-placed Foxtrot Romeo, who has only his second start for David O'Meara today, but the latter's stable companion Eccleston is preferred this time after scoring at Thirsk last time when JOHARA finished fourth. Chris Wall's charge was making his seasonal debut on that occasion and can reverse running and go close in this with improvement expected. Shared Equity is proving hard to win with having rattled up numerous placed efforts this year but Nameitwhatyoulike was narrowly beaten at Ripon last time and can figure along with Chookie Royale. Fast Track has a shout if back to his best and Fendale is not out of this either.
