In depth

Verdict

Brave Display, who had been in double-winning form at Dundalk over the winter, reverted to Turf with a fine victory on testing ground at the Curragh under today's young rider and can make a bold bid to defy a 7lb rise. The veteran Seanie has changed stables and made a very encouraging start for new connections when narrowly beaten at Dundalk last month while Aubineau has shown potential in maidens and a mark of 65 could prove lenient on her handicap debut. SHORE STEP (NAP) has won four times in 34 starts and hasn't run since September but the assessor has dropped him 8lb since has last run and given him a real chance if ready after his break and Denis Linehan's claim is a bonus.
