Verdict

Cross Border showed very good pace over 6f at the Curragh and should go close. Roman Harry's close third on his debut was in a claimer over 1m2f before weakening in the closing stages over 7f at Dundalk. Maggie McGrath has gone backwards this season but SMULLEN'S PRIDE had some decent juvenile form and was returning from a long break when a good third at Cork in June.
