In depth

Verdict

Ken Condon looks to have found a good opportunity for PIANO SOLO. Rated 95 after a good effort in Listed company here last month, he’s clear of the others with a handicap rating including Pocotaligo, Anthonysoprano and Kattani. The latter posted his best effort so far over a longer trip at Cork in April and Mudlahhim may improve past him having made a promising debut at Naas last year and wearing a tongue-tie on his return. Mother Vincent is a half-sister to a couple of winners and makes most appeal of the newcomers.
