Verdict

Polar Bear was the easy winner of a course and distance maiden three weeks ago but Shane Foley has opted to ride Executive Decision, a Navan maiden winner who wasn't disgraced in Listed company at Fairyhouse next time. Lisieux was well behind in that Navan contest but it was a different matter on her nursery debut on this track where she easily beat stable companion Distillate. MILE END has improved with every run and comfortably landed a soft-ground Navan nursery to complete a double. She's up 8lb but a hat-trick beckons. Rhythm King is 3lb out of the handicap though Jamie Powell's claim takes care of that and he'll love the conditions, as will Curragh maiden winner Too Profitable.
