Verdict
Acting Talent looked very promising on her debut at Navan in May but has been beaten when odds-on in her two recent runs. Swift Action was also an odds-on chance when beaten at Naas when today's rival Cottrell was just in front of her. Barbados Bob reappears after a very long lay-off and has never raced on fast ground so this could go to the newcomer FIOSRACH, a half-brother to a couple of winners and hailing from a yard who have no problems getting one ready.
