Verdict

Forest Of Dreams, who cost a whopping 900,000gns, found the minimum trip and fast ground against him on his debut here behind a stable companion. He will have come on markedly for the experience but so will PUERTO DE VEGA for his run at the Curragh. Johnny Murtagh's charge didn't go the early pace but was staying on nicely at the finish and today's slightly longer trip and easier ground will be in his favour. Coill Avon also made an eye-catching debut when completely unfancied at Naas, making good headway when failing to obtain a clear run. Charmed is a half-brother to three winners while Repute is by Acclamation out of a 6f and 7f Listed winner so should have plenty of pace and his stable has been among the winners.
