Verdict

MASSAYAN relished soft going at Galway and Gowran last year. Still unexposed, Dermot Weld’s four-year-old swerved a much stronger race last week to take his chance here and is hard to oppose. Onlyhuman won on only his second start and first run since being gelded at Gowran and is another with scope. Cirin Toinne hasn’t won since making her debut at Leopardstown a year ago but has been getting nearer lately, though wouldn’t want too much rain.
