In depth

Verdict

On Irish day, this is probably the time to go get yourself a Guinness as this is seriously moderate fare. Moyne Pleasure has been a real boon to the fledgling career of Paul Johnson and he is officially best at the weights. This is his grade and he should give another good account of himself. The TEAMtalk selection at minimum stakes is Alpha Rose. He does have a few pounds to find with Moyne Pleasure but he is at least maintaining a level of consistency in his races. Of the remainder, any market interest in Copplestone, Alpine Racer or Fire Moon should be noted.
