Verdict

Last season's form would put Seeingisbelieving in the picture but he's been well beaten in both recent starts. El Magnifique was narrowly beaten in all three starts in the autumn and made most in a stronger maiden than this at the Curragh, only fading close home. That should have brought him to concert pitch though the concession of the fillies' allowance to AMANIRENAS, who has the favoured inside berth, may prove beyond him. She made a very promising start at Cork and looked like winning over 7f at Dundalk until swallowed up close home. Grizabella showed potential in her first two starts and didn't appear to enjoy the Polytrack at Dundalk. Band Width made an encouraging debut over 7f at Cork but could find this on the short side.
