Verdict
ORINOCO RIVER is the undoubted form pick and her latest run behind Ladies Church in a Naas Listed contest should be ignored as she stumbled badly at the halfway mark. She was beaten less than a length behind that winner at Tipperary earlier and should get off the mark. HMS Endeavour ran in a maiden on that Naas card when looking in need of experience so looks the main threat though Drombeg Banner also ran green in the same race and wasn't too far behind. Ernest Rutherford was a cheaply-bought yearling but went for £47,000 at the Breeze-Up at Newmarket.
