Verdict
After a very promising debut in a strong Curragh maiden last summer, Hms Seahorse started odds-on for his reappearance at Navan last month but floundered in the heavy conditions. He'll be supported to make amends though O'REILLY ran a fine race when runner-up to Bolshoi Ballet over this track and trip in October and the 260,000gns son of Frankel can go one better. Jim Bolger's horses are in good form but Salvucci was behind the selection here last year though does have the benefit of last month's run at the Curragh. Paddy Twomey's horses are going well and Corps Des Pages, another son of Frankel, is out of a mare who has produced winners with her first three offspring.
