In depth

Verdict

Irish Boy relished his first experience of turf when coming through to score with authority at Catterick and can be expected to improve again. However, he is once again opposed by the next three home that day, all of whom he meets on worse terms. He may well be good enough but TANCRED SPIRIT has shown improved form of late and appeals on these revised terms, especially with Paul Hanagan taking the ride. Majestic Millie could well get closer too, whilst Wild Hysteria showed enough last term to indicate he can get involved but does lack the benefit of a recent run.
