In depth

Verdict

BACK TO BRUSSELS has been running well enough in Pattern race company, including when only 2 lengths behind Glen Shiel in a Curragh Group 3 early this month, to suggest she should have few problems doubling her winning tally though she's never raced on ground this testing. Independent Missy will be winning a handicap soon judging on her close fourth at Dundalk and she has form on testing ground while Boundless Power ran well in his first four starts but was well beaten in a tough handicap at Naas on Sunday. The remaining pair have a massive amount to find with the selection.
