In depth

Verdict

CLUB WEXFORD (NAP) didn't appear last season until August when on a mark of 89 and he was down to 76 at the Curragh last weekend when runner-up to Bubbly Bellini with Penny Pepper a length behind. He's only been put up 1lb so should go one better. Bainne is very consistent and will enjoy the conditions so Kieren Fallon's mount has to be respected but this is a tough test for a three-year-old on this ground and Fair Game is 2lb out of the handicap. Sors has never won on Turf and Serefeli's opening victory came over an extra furlong.
