In depth

Verdict

Mary Pickersgill has come up against Sacred Bridge and Hadman in her two starts to date and hasn't been disgraced so should go well. EXQUISITE ACCLAIM was staying on over this trip at Fairyhouse when denied a clear run so gets the nod to gain compensation though the experienced Arges was taking on more than he could handle in Group 2 company at the Curragh and his earlier form puts him in the frame. Stable companion Cavalry Charge made a promising start at Leopardstown while Lechro also ran well on the same track. Eriskay is by first-season sire Profitable, who has made a good start, out of a 7f winner so should be suited by this trip.
