Verdict

Canary Row stepped out of handicap company to land a Listed contest at Killarney for which he's penalised and he may find this tougher. Dermot Weld runs two and Pat Smullen has chosen the reappearing ZAWRAQ over the race-fit Aasheq. His mount won first time out in 2014 and again in a Listed contest the following year before runner-up in his only start last season. He still has the scope to go on to better things and looks the one to be on. Riven Light is an obvious threat after his victory over Aussie Valentine at Tipperary and though behind Dream Walker at Galway he wasn't beaten far and was conceding plenty of weight to Brian Ellison's charge. Bengala led for a long way in the Irish Oaks before being swamped and will find this less daunting.
