Verdict

STAR POWER made a highly satisfactory hurdling debut behind the progressive Bless N'Ject over 3m here last month and, with that experience behind him, the four-times Flat winner should go one better. Cape Glory looks a big threat as he's been staying on strongly at the finish over the minimum trip in strong maidens and this should bring out the best in him. Equity Swap produced a better effort at Ballinrobe last time and there should be more to come as he scored twice on the level and improved with experience. Morney Wing made a very promising debut over timber behind Authorization at Naas in January so it was a surprise to see him sent into bumpers for his next two starts while Whatsforuwontgobyu made an encouraging start to his career in a bumper on this track and his pedigree suggests he'll do well at this game.
