In depth
Verdict
PRINCE OF NAPLES is penalised for his Fairyhouse victory and has never raced over the trip but he was only beaten a length in a lucrative sales race over an extended 6f at the Curragh and can make a successful track debut. Point Reyes gained reward for some decent performances with a comfortable victory in a nursery over a mile here last month so looks certain to go well but Turbo Command did better when tackling 6f here in September. Balmari was only headed close home over a mile last month after leading at this trip while Whoareyouanyway got no sort of run on heavy ground at Naas a month ago and should be capable of better.
