Verdict

Silver Sheen hasn’t shown much over fences so far and Martello Sky was beaten in a match on her chasing bow when having a first run for a new yard, though the winner has scored again since. Ballybegg won four times over hurdles but is hard to catch right and The Bomber Liston became a little disappointing over the smaller obstacles after winning his maiden. MY BOBBY DAZZLER won a point in 2020 and went on to prove a consistent sort over timber – an opening mark of 120 may be underestimating his ability.
