Verdict
Buckaroo and Capoeira were third and sixth in the Killarney maiden won by Piz Badile and placings should be confirmed. The former came home strongly to claim third spot but still looks to need to improve to trouble STONE AGE (NAP), who did not have everything go his way on Leopardstown debut and still was only beaten just over a length. He looks the one to beat with stable juveniles renowned for making major improvement from their debuts. Dermot Weld's record at this track is there for all to see and the market should inform as to expectations surrounding his Juddmonte newcomer, Golden Beach, with Colin Keane booked.
