    Verdict

    Saatty never looked like winning in six starts in Ireland but Oisin Murphy is on board for his debut for new connections and he’s closely matched with Taylored on these terms. The latter never figured at Beverley earlier in the week while Independent Beauty also makes a quick reappearance and drops down in trip after finishing third of five runners at Ffos Las. MICK’S SPIRIT has struggled over longer distances this year but last season’s debut fourth over the minimum trip at Pontefract remains his best effort so far and he gets a speculative vote in the opener.
