VERHOYEN looked a certain future winner when a close second in a Listed contest at Naas and just gets the vote on that run. He ran quite well on soft ground at the Curragh next time but disappointed when sent to Hamilton last month so might have difficulty seeing off Sankari Royale on these terms. Johnny Murtagh's filly caught the eye on her debut at Fairyhouse and went off odds-on when returning there last week but was caught in the shadow of the post. Play Your Part has plenty of pace in her pedigree and looks well bought at 3500 euros but I Am Power has plenty of weight and the main threat may arrive in the shape of Raramauri, the third foal of a mare who has already produced two winners including in Listed class.
I Am Power (IRE) Power colt out of Bridge Note.
Zizum Showcasing colt out of Proud Duchess.
Daubney's Dream (IRE) Power gelding out of Belle Of The Lodge.
Art Of Unity Mazameer colt out of Vintage Steps.
Moorepark Lad (IRE) Lilbourne Lad colt out of Dash Back.
Verhoyen 11-10fav (9-2) Held up in touch, ridden over 1f out, kept on same pace in 3rd place, 3rd of 6, 2 1/4l behind Undercover Brother (9-2) at Hamilton 5f stks (4) gf in Jun.
Raramauri (IRE) Fast Company filly out of Spinning Ruby.
Play Your Part (IRE) Most Improved filly out of Pinkisthecolour.
Sankari Royale (IRE) 4-6fav (8-6) Led, attempted to assert and went on over 1f out, reduced lead and kept on inside final furlong, headed on line, 2nd of 6, shd behind Deep Breath (8-6) at Fairyhouse 6f mdn fll gd in Jul.
