In depth

Verdict

Not much to go on here but SWEET SHIRLEEN showed enough on her debut when third at Clonmel to suggest she'll be up to this with normal improvement. Blue Empyrean improved on his opening bumper run when a good third in a big field at Down Royal and should make further progress but Ciaoifsin surprisingly reverts to a bumper after a fair run over hurdles at Kilbeggan on Sunday. Sunday Central is related to a host of winners and is one to keep an eye on in the market.
