Verdict

INDUS VALLEY had some very good form as a juvenile and made a fine reappearance over 7f at the Curragh on the opening day of the flat. He ran in a much better race at Naas last time but found 6f too short and can resume winning ways from what looks a fair mark. Andantino ran his best race since last July when fourth behind Macnas at Gowran though he's only one-paced and looks vulnerable to a finisher. Jim Bolger tries Gearanai in blinkers for the first time and it would be no great surprise if they had the desired effect while Peccatorum ran well at Ballinrobe on Monday and doesn't look overburdened on his handicap bow.
