Verdict

SWELLTIME followed a narrow defeat by the in-form Allora Yeats at the Curragh with a very easy victory over timber at Gowran and a mark of 62 looks to be underestimating his ability. Dawn Over Owning, from a yard in blistering form, stepped up to this trip for the first time at Killarney and came with a late burst to snatch the spoils so has to be considered despite a 7lb rise. Born By The Sea was headed right on the line over 2m here on Friday so is greatly respected but Acclamatio was withdrawn from that race when the going turned soft. Alabaster finished runner-up over hurdles on Thursday while Eight And Bob, runner-up in this a year ago, returned from a long break with a fine run over 2m here on Tuesday and has to be considered off the same mark. Son Of Hypnos produced his best run to date on his handicap debut here on Monday behind Flying Scotsman though was engaged to run in the 5.45 yesterday.
