Verdict

CREEPING IVY had been narrowly beaten twice before coming good over the course and distance a couple of weeks ago and, though raised 8lb, she looks a filly to follow and can continue her progress. Temasek Star is in excellent form and followed his track and trip double with a fair effort from his revised mark so it's a surprise to see him dropped 2lb for that run. Park Row won here in September though didn't really get going on a return visit last month, but Empresario was in cracking form around here a year ago and is fit enough after scoring over fences at Navan in September.
