Verdict

Glamorously was a surprise winner at Navan having earlier been beaten almost five lengths by Gloucester in a Fairyhouse nursery. The latter was scoring for the second time but will be 9lb higher. Ocean Baroque has a similar profile and earned a nice prize in convincing style at Cork so a 5lb rise looks manageable. Carnegie Hall has his first start in a handicap and has been racing exclusively on good ground but the stable also run EMPEROR OF ROME. He was having his first start since March when placed behind subsequent Listed winner Pipsy at the Curragh last month and could be the one to beat in a very competitive nursery in which none can be ruled out.
