In depth

Verdict

Theleze was a decent performer in France but is taking her time to hit top form for new connections and she may do better in very testing conditions. Top Spin scored twice on the Flat and ran very well for a long way on his hurdling debut in conditions he wouldn't have enjoyed at Cork. He can do better while Imperial Cascade looks a nice prospect and will have come on for his run behind Mickelson at the last meeting here. Runner-up that day and beaten just three-quarters-of-a-length was CAOLANEOIN, who can go one better. Seamus Fahey's charge had shown fine form in bumpers at this time last year and did very well to chase home the all-the-way winner on his hurdling bow.
