Verdict
SOFFIA made the best start of these when fourth in a decent maiden at Naas and with more to come can get off the mark. Face Off wasn't too far behind and was staying on nicely but Krispen improved on the Polytrack at Dundalk and wouldn't want any more rain. Royal Navy Warship has shown nothing in two starts though Aidan O'Brien tries blinkers on the superbly-bred son of War Front and it would be no surprise to see marked improvement. None of the remainder have done enough to merit consideration.
