Verdict

Manwal has to be respected on his two recent runs at Ballinrobe but is beginning to look vulnerable and finished behind WITHAM RIVER last time. He appeared to have every chance and the latter was only headed inside the final furlong after attempting to make all so looks the one to beat. Star Official has now had five runs and doesn't appear to be progressing and though Anthem did a bit better at Galway he needs to find more. Rayadiyr is a half-brother to the Group 2 winner Raydara and other winners and wouldn't need to be a world-beater to make a successful debut.
