Verdict
HANOVER STREET makes a belated debut and can start making up for lost time. A son of Galileo out of a mare who has produced winners with her first two foals, he doesn't face the stiffest of tasks on his introduction. Torcedor looks the best alternative as though slightly disappointing here last month his earlier close second at Navan looks good enough form to get him on the scoresheet soon. Gelenschik's third behind Stellar Glow and On A Pedestal at Leopardstown has been given a boost and she's no forlorn hope with her allowance.
