Verdict
Barud heads the weights after compiling decent efforts in useful Curragh maiden company and may be more at home for winning purposes in nurseries. Only beaten a length in a bunch finish last time, maybe the application of first-time blinkers can generate an extra spark. Cool And Clever dug in well to take a Roscommon maiden in May and doesn't look badly treated and Pimlico also sports first-time headgear in the hope of better after a disappointing last run. Previous efforts put him in the picture though, along with the unexposed GEODESIC (NAP) who has the scope to improve considerably off this mark after showing signs of ability on each start.
