In depth

Verdict

Brian Hughes partners LARGY RAY, a half-brother to a bumper winner and the latter gets a speculative vote in a field of newcomers. Dunnet Head is a €75,000 purchase and a brother to a bumper winner while Monochromix is bred for the Flat and preferred to stablemate Torosay. Lucky Soldier and Heart Above are others to note.
