Verdict

Damselfly found one too good again at Cork last Sunday, though was only beaten a short-head. However, WOLFOFBAGGOTSTREET looks the one to be on as he only found Coventry Stakes third Murillo too good at Tipperary last month, when well ahead of My Silver Nails, having finished only half-a-length behind a subsequent winner on debut at Navan. The other pair have plenty to prove.
