In depth

Verdict

Ardad's Great, beaten a head in a Tipperary Listed race in June, didn't quite get the run of the race in similar grade at Naas. Hispanic is bred to get further but showed up well over this trip at Naas last week despite looking green. His stable companion Paddington was sent to Ascot for his debut over 7f and showed plenty of speed before weakening. New Image was beaten four lengths here in June and has been given a break though the form hasn't worked out quite as well as expected. SMALL OASIS made an eye-catching debut at Naas last week when looking very green. Normal progress can see her off the mark.
