Verdict
Linus Larrabee finished runner-up over Navan’s extended 5f before a fair run over 7f at Dundalk. Terra Rossa wasn’t far behind in the former event on his debut and should reverse the form having taken time to find his feet while Gatwick Kitten will be better for his run at the Curragh on Monday, his first for a year. BREAKING NEWS is 0-11 but has been running well enough over longer trips to get the nod, especially after leading for much of the way over 7f at the Curragh on Monday. Fugacious was engaged in the 3.40 at the Curragh yesterday.
