In depth

Verdict

FOOL PROOF showed nothing in three maidens but attracted some support on his handicap debut at Navan and showed massive improvement. He races off the same mark here so looks the one to beat. He had Lady Alcazar back in third and should confirm the form but fourth-placed All About Ivy is another who showed major progress and can get closer. Talking Tough has now had a dozen starts without winning and his recent good effort at Limerick came over a mile but Sansevero Chapel caught the eye at Limerick and makes his handicap debut.
