Verdict

This shouldn't take too much winning and FREIHEIT, whose third place behind Rionach at Tipperary has been given a boost by the winner, can finally get off the mark. Taakhy is by Dawn Approach and the second foal of a mare who produced a two-year-old winner with her first so she's respected along with Intermedia, who led for a long way at Gowran and will know more here. Tough Spirit may need some give in the ground but Julienne is one to keep an eye on as both runs last autumn were on ground with plenty of give.
