Verdict
Film Director is bred to have more Flat speed than most of these and with Patrick Mullins booked he's one to keep an eye on in the betting. QUINVILLE CASTLE made a decent start behind the classy Devils Bride at Roscommon before chasing home The Mooch on fast ground at Wexford. With more to come he's handed the vote over Broadway Symphony, who looked promising earlier this year but didn't appear to enjoy fast ground at Kilbeggan. Cooper's Joy and Bective Cave have potential and should be worth a market check.
