In depth

Verdict

Peckham Springs is rated 73 on the Flat and will enjoy the conditions. Movie King is only rated 46 on the level but has performed well in his last two starts on testing ground. Roma Delight showed a bit of potential on the level in France but finished last on his debut for Ted Walsh at Dundalk. LOVED OUT is a half-brother to six winners and though he only had five runs on the Flat he's shown enough potential to win a very ordinary maiden. Alexei Vronsky didn't perform badly at Fairyhouse and wouldn't need much more to get into contention.
