In depth

Verdict

BOMBAY BLUE couldn't match strides with Gold Speed at Navan but, with that under his belt, can go one better. Out By Six started favourite when sent to Perth but didn't really impress while The Bosses Oscar may find this too short after his two runs between the flags. The remainder with experience have shown little while the newcomer Flash is bred for stamina. Knot On Time is a half-brother to a winning point-to-pointer so is another likely to need much further.
