In depth

Verdict

A few unknowns here but FEATHERTOP's second at Cork looks the best form on view and she can go one better. Jupiter Rock disappointed when favourite on the latter track the same day though that was over 1m4f. His stable also run the newcomer Hutton, a €95,000 son of Australia out of a 6f winner. Neptunes Staircase is another first-timer to note as he's from the family of several Group 1 winners on his dam's side. Teorema looks best of Jim Bolger's pair after a promising run at Galway.
