      Verdict

      Placed on several occasions in Ireland, McCauley's Tavern returns to action for new connections with every chance. Salisbury runner-up Peony disappointed at Newbury subsequently while ALPHA ZULU failed to land the odds at Newcastle on a recent debut when beaten by the progressive Hello Queen. However, James Ferguson’s charge is fitted with a tongue-tie for this and can go on better. Mojeyrr is related to several winners and Exorbitant is another newcomer to note.
