In depth

Verdict

Little Richard was good value for his win over course and distance last time when beating Winter Cruise and, having been raised just 2lbs for that success, he is taken to follow up here and gets the verdict over Squirtle and All Native. The last mentioned ran better than of late in Ireland when a creditable third behind Bugsy's Boy and would have claims if building on that effort. A market move for Vince Smith's Capitalise would be of interest but there is a suspicion that he may be a shade high in the weights, while Ronsard is held by the Irish raider on running that day. James Bethell's Young Scotton has every chance on a line through Bugsy's Boy and he could be of interest along with Mark Brisbourne's consistent Squirtle. Little Richard won well last time though and he is taken to win again.
