      Verdict

      Fortify showed potential last season but still looked very inexperienced when reappearing with a victory in a Cork maiden which is working out well. He's still in the Derby though that seems a long way off. CAESARIA looked in need of further when making a winning debut over 6f on the opening day of the season at the Curragh and this should prove ideal. He just gets the vote though Mouteab has been progressing nicely and stayed on strongly to score over 7f at Dundalk. Talitha Kum won a Listowel maiden by 10 lengths on heavy ground in September and ran in better company subsequently as did Sligo winner Hard Core Debt, whose final run last July was in a Group 3.
