In depth

Verdict

Joe Murphy has had a few winners in recent weeks and runs two here. Nelson Road showed some potential behind Idaho at the Curragh in October and will be better for an outing at Naas last month where he didn't get the run of the race. The County Cork-based handler also has the newcomer Jestival engaged and he's a half-brother to the Listed winner Queen Catrine. Clear Spirit started off well enough but has gone backwards so this can go to CENTERVILLE, who has shown promise in two recent starts over a mile at Gowran.
