Verdict

It’s too soon to write off Duke's Girl, who was a well-backed favourite at Fairyhouse last month. Napoleon Blue was close up at Perth after winning at Thurles and Shantou Warrior arrives off the back of a victory at Sligo. Top Of The Charts ran his best race so far over hurdles at Ayr and City Hall warrants a mention on only his fifth career start. HERO’S WELCOME can land a competitive handicap for Tony Martin, however, as he’s shown marked improvement in his last three runs and should handle this quicker surface.
