Verdict

Former Ballydoyle inmate BALLSBRIDGE is fitted with a tongue-tie on his debut for a new trainer. He showed plenty of early pace when second over a mile at Naas last month and this shorter trip may suit. Ithra has been competing in handicaps without success but should figure back at this level while Master Dandy is a likely improver. Mattella is speedily-bred and is preferred to Busan of the newcomers.
