In depth

Verdict

Andreas Vesalius has been racing in Group 2 company since scoring on soft ground at Naas while stable companion Hadman is stepping up in class after narrow victories at Gowran and Naas. BEAUTY INSPIRE started favourite on his debut here last month and was always travelling like a winner despite looking green. He can go on to better things while Celtic Times' only moderate run came on very testing ground in a Group 3 here. The Entertainer made a winning start at Navan but has been outclassed in Group company subsequently while Daisy Peers dropped back to an extended 5f at Navan to record an easy maiden victor.
