In depth

Verdict

Barnaviddaun won twice in Ireland for Thomas Mullins but has failed to complete in two runs for new connections, including on his fencing bow. Sail Away is 0-4 over fences and his future probably lies in handicaps but the sky could be the limit for DUSART. He was third in a Grade 1 hurdle at Aintree last April on only his second career start and is a half-brother to the Arkle winner Simonsig.
