Verdict

Neither He's My Shadow nor King's Castle made much impression in the race won by Holetown Hero here two weeks ago. The winner’s yard run KILLALOAN in this and he’s the one to beat on a couple of runs over timber, though does need to learn to settle. Danton is improving judged on a third here last month but none of the others make much appeal.
