Verdict

SEA SPRAY, in first-time cheekpieces, made all for a very convincing victory at Gowran on Sunday and, though raised 10lb, that was an apprentices' race and Jamie Powell couldn't use his claim. Evening's Empire, who was beaten over four lengths in third, will be 5lb better off but appears unlikely to reverse the places. Mobilise is improving and, though last week's Leopardstown victory came over a mile, he looks certain to be suited by the extra. Picture Of A City continues to run well without winning and has gone up again in the ratings after finishing second at Fairyhouse. Our Boy Wes and Navy Beach are both the type to do better now stepping up in trip.
