Verdict

The form of WALK ON HARRY's Cork maiden win is proving solid, so he gets the tentative vote to follow up in what looks a fairly trappy contest. Monologue seems sure to improve on an encouraging opening effort at Down Royal, while it's too soon to be writing off Force Noir given his earlier promise.

6	Dandy Man gelding who showed ability but was found wanting for know-how around a sharp track when fourth of 11 in 5f maiden at Down Royal on debut 14 days ago, best work finish. Will improve. 2nd Pick 6 Monologue (Ire) Jockey: J. Kearney Trainer: Stephen Thorne, Ireland J: J. Kearney T: Stephen Thorne, Ireland	89	-	-	-	13%	7/1

1	Confirmed debut promise in spades when clear-cut winner of 5f maiden at Naas in April. Fitted with first-time blinkers (left off here) when down the field in Norfolk Stakes on sole run for Kevin Philippart De Foy but it's too soon to be writing him off given previous promise. 3rd Pick 1 Force Noir (Ire) Jockey: Ben Martin Coen Trainer: Robson De Aguiar, Ireland J: Ben Martin Coen T: Robson De Aguiar, Ireland	98	-	-	-	39%	8/5
