In depth

Verdict

Vocal Music will be having his first start beyond a mile but will have come on nicely for his run at Galway a fortnight ago, his first start since November. Still Standing hasn't run since easily landing a Naas maiden on soft ground that month but his trainer has no problems getting one ready after a long break. Future Proof made a successful debut on heavy ground at Leopardstown and will have found the going too quick at Killarney last time but SPIORAD SAOIRSE looks the one to be on as he landed a Limerick maiden in good style before a very good run in a tough Galway handicap. Burning Question has been in fine form and deserved her Galway maiden victory and, though she's shot up the ratings, she still looks better than stable companion Griffyndor.
