Verdict
Alnashmy has been keeping much better company since scoring at Tipperary in June and will be suited by dropping back to his best trip, though this is his Polytrack debut. Obviously did very well to beat the consistent but luckless pair Eagle Canyon and Fred Fenster at Cork and is well regarded but a line through the placed horses gives him plenty to find with SOLAR VERDE. Dermot Weld's filly had those two behind when scoring at Gowran last month and looks nicely treated providing she handles the surface. Katherine Lee had been going well on turf before making all over a mile here last month and a 6lb rise shouldn't prevent another big run, while Boom To Bust is certain to come in for support after a facile success in a Bellewstown maiden in August.
