Verdict

Don'tdropmein was a long way clear of the third when beaten a short-head at Wexford though that was on very fast ground. If he handles these conditions he'll be thereabouts BROGINE's second to Bon Chic at Punchestown in October is the best form on view and she made a decent reappearance when third over a longer trip at Limerick a couple of weeks ago. She looks just better than Lady Dromlac at this stage though there was plenty to like about the latter's run behind Fugi Mountain at Sligo. Brother Gold was beaten a distance at Fairyhouse but can still prove best of the remainder.
