Verdict

Several of these have been thereabouts of late. Triolet was placed again when third at Punchestown and Small World finished much closer at the latter track on his latest start. Authorative found only one too good here last month and Wiiphania wasn’t beaten far when placed at Listowel on her comeback. But STEAMBOAT QUAY was having his first outing since October when narrowly beaten at Clonmel a fortnight ago and looks capable of notching another success for Gordon Elliott’s yard with improvement expected.
