In depth

Verdict

Joseph O'Brien brings out Boragh Steps quickly after her run in a Navan handicap on Saturday where she was staying on strongly over the minimum trip. However, she finished behind runner-up Premier League in that event and Michael Mulvaney's charge was also finishing with a flourish, though he's never really proved himself on soft ground. Santorini Sun made a successful debut for Mick Channon at Sandown in August and raced in strong company subsequently, though didn't impress on her first start for new connections at the Curragh. LUZUM won on heavy ground at Cork in March and has raced over shorter trips in his two starts since. He looks to have the edge here as the remaining pair have a bit to find.
