In depth
Verdict
Southfork attempted to make all on his debut over timber at Roscommon but was headed three out and could only stay on at one pace. Gordon Elliott won this last year but Bigearsonmyright can hardly be recommended on his one juvenile start a year ago when he finished tailed off last. LADY GERONIMO was the highest rated of these on the Flat despite having had just six runs and failing to win. She's in the right hands to make a winning start and gets the vote. The market should prove the best guide as to whether any of her rivals have been schooling well.
