Previous results

In depth

Verdict

Spanish Tenor beat Facethepuckout at Gowran before the latter won at Naas when ahead of previous winner Cavallo Pazzo. Rhythm King won on heavy going at Gowran last month and Yuzu beat Nituna when successful on the testing ground at Leopardstown. Clear Quartz posted a better effort at Galway recently but Randall Poets Lass and FRAZIL are among the least exposed. The latter struggled in Listed company last time but won his maiden on heavy ground earlier and may improve now handicapping.
