Verdict

IN EXCESS couldn't quite peg back Foxy Girl at Limerick on St Stephen's Day but was returning from a 20-month absence and with that under his belt can go one better. The winner's yard is represented by Sam Magee, a winner between the flags who has a stamina-packed pedigree and did well to finish around five lengths behind the winner over 2m4f at Down Royal. This could be on the short side, a remark that also applies to Abbeydale, beaten a neck over an extended 2m4f at Wexford. Coeur d'Or won over 7f on the beach at Laytown before a close third in a Curragh handicap on soft ground and looks a newcomer to note.
