In depth

Verdict

Romanesco was an odds-on failure at Limerick and looks like a horse who needs a marathon trip. Tara Warrior has some decent form and should get competitive though he has been looking very one-paced and is another who may do better over further. POZYC twice finished runner-up on the level at Dundalk before a very promising debut over timber at Clonmel a month ago when just touched off by Mazara with subsequent winner The Cockney Squire in third. Forestside has shown ability in big-field maidens and is one to keep an eye on in the market.
