In depth

Verdict

Tiger At Heart began with a fine run behind Furner's Green despite finishing last of four but has failed to build on that in two subsequent starts. Moonshed was unfancied in very testing ground at Tipperary and will have found 1m1f too short but he showed potential and looks certain to do much better. King's Warrant has done better on Polytrack so this could be between Handazan and EL SALVADOR. The former just failed to catch Mizani over 1m2f at Naas and is an obvious threat over a trip that will suit and though he holds El Salvador on that run the Ballydoyle colt is handed the vote as he was making his debut and stayed on strongly once getting the hang of things.
