Verdict

DEEP BREATH attracted a bit of support at Fairyhouse which was justified when he came through late to lead right on the line. He may have been underestimated on a mark of 76 and can take care of Bellewstown winner Golden Spell, who stayed on strongly to score over the minimum and will be well suited by the extra. War Hero didn't stay 7f at Gowran though his earlier fourth at Leopardstown puts him right in the picture but Navajo Dreamer looked suited to an extra furlong at Limerick.
