In depth

Verdict

Johnny Murtagh attempted to make all on Long Journey Home over 1m4f at Leopardstown last time but in fact his mount didn't get home and was swallowed up by Apache. He's likely to take some catching over today's trip but ENCHANTED FOREST may have his measure. Aidan O'Brien's Galileo colt was probably just in need of the run in a Leopardstown handicap last time but showed enough to suggest he would soon be losing his maiden tag. O'Brien also runs Amen, who met all kinds of trouble in-running on his debut at Dundalk in April and is likely to do much better here. Maggie Neary has been showing up nicely on Polytrack and there's no reason why she shouldn't be effective on turf.
