Verdict

Water Nymph has her first start in a handicap but looks high enough for what she's achieved and takes a big step-up in trip. Autocrat is the only distance winner though his two victories have been at Dundalk, one of which he had a head to spare over DUBAWI SPECTRE, who has enough of a pull in the weights to gain revenge and take this. Teutates is the type to improve now tackling a more suitable trip, a remark that also applies to stablemate Amusement. Picture Of A City was staying on over 1m3f at Limerick.
