In depth

Verdict

Cisco Disco won on heavy ground at Galway in October, with Speedy Pix just behind, but showed little in two runs in March. FARAWAY DREAMS (NAP) made a very encouraging handicap debut when staying on strongly over 7f at Cork and though that was on fast going today's conditions shouldn't pose a problem. Ellabella has never raced beyond 7f but is improving and wasn't stopping when just touched off by No Patience at Dundalk with Vazzy almost 4 lengths behind.
