Verdict

Three of these won maidens last time, though Immortal Bridge looked a stayer in the making when successful over a slightly longer trip at Navan. Arya Tara followed up her victory at Tipperary by landing a stakes race at the Curragh, though more will be needed if she is to complete her hat-trick. Munaashid is the least exposed of these and is bidding to follow up a course win. The longer trip shouldn't be a problem and he should make a bold bid but RADAR O'REILLY always had matters when in control when getting off the mark over 1m2f at the Curragh. Only beaten half-a-length at Leopardstown over this trip previously, he may be able to dictate matters from the front here as well.
