In depth

Verdict

Sioux Sweet had Distillate a nose behind when both were out of the money at Cork but Laranjal has run in three strong maidens and looks more of a typical nursery type. Holdonfordearlife has been staying on over 6f the last twice so the drop in trip may not suit but DONTSPOILASALE showed very good pace when a close third over 6f at Fairyhouse and can take this. Profitable Edge was sent to Bath in June after a close third at Tipperary but failed to fire.
