Verdict

A big pot has attracted Richard Fahey's Beechwood Star and his yard won a massive prize at the Curragh at the weekend with Native American. His only poor run to date came over 7f on Tapeta at Newcastle. James's Delight is another UK raider who made a winning debut at Newbury and may have found the ground too fast when odds-on at Windsor. Jakajaro has been in excellent form in nurseries, winning easily at the Curragh and not beaten far in either of his next two. He easily holds Navan winner Ocean Baroque on his latest run. KING CUAN started a short-priced favourite on his debut at the Curragh in May but didn't get the best of runs and had to settle for a close fourth behind today's rival Nemonte. He reappeared last week with an easy victory at Cork and can reverse the places with the latter on slightly better terms.
