In depth

Verdict

CHAGALL scored at Cork in August and here the following month and though a bit frustrating subsequently and 9lb higher than that last victory looks the one to beat. Emphatic was having his 25th start when losing his maiden tag here earlier this month and has only been raised 2lb so a similar effort will see him in the firing-line. St George's Head was a length behind in that latter event but has since made all here and this won't take much winning. Tynamite wasn't beaten far in most starts last winter and the assessor has given him a chance.
