In depth

Verdict

Disco Musik fell at the first when reappearing over fences at Clonmel in June so this is likely to be a confidence-booster. Derby De Thaix was prominent for a long way over a longer trip at Limerick last month and is worth considering while Mosstown Miller probably ran better than expected on the same track on only his second start since returning from injury. Baby Bellini would have every chance on his best form but connections have been frustrated in their efforts to get him on the racecourse for the first time since January. JOY’S GIFT (NAP) has been running better than her form figures would suggest. She’s dropped to a fair mark and cheekpieces could bring about some improvement.
