Verdict

Gavin Cromwell wastes no time bringing out Fuwairt again after his victory in a Cork handicap on Wednesday. That was his first victory in over two years and he looks certain to go well but official ratings point to the undeniable chance of DROMBEG DREAM. She's won three times in her career, all on ground with plenty of give, and had no problems seeing off her rivals on heavy going at Gowran last month. Rapture's Delight has been running well and though unable to contain Vocal Music at the Curragh was conceding the winner 8lb. Denis Hogan does well with outcasts from other yards but Wajeez hasn't run since last in a Hamilton Listed race in 2016 when trained by John Gosden.
