In depth

Verdict

HEYTESBURY LANE was elevated into Group 3 company at Naas after a very encouraging debut there but finished last, though a stumble at the halfway mark won't have helped. Tommorah showed very good pace at Cork and is certain to come on for the experience while Arch Enemy makes a quick reappearance after an encouraging debut at Navan on Sunday. Dream Oasis weakened quickly at Cork in April but has been given time to make progress and is expected to do better.
