Verdict

SUBSTANCE left the impression his breakthrough Roscommon victory 12 days ago was only scratching the surface of what he may well have to offer this year and Joseph O'Brien's colt can make light of a 10 lb rise, albeit in what is a much deeper affair. Gavoo caught the eye on his reappearance and is another to be interested in for a stable going well. Quiet Mutiny, Zenford and Star of Sapphire are others making each-way appeal.

10	Not without promise in maidens and proved a different proposition when making a successful switch to handicaps at Roscommon (7.5f) 12 days ago, coming from much further back than the other principals. 10 lb higher now but there's surely even better to come. 1st Pick 10 Substance (Ire) Jockey: D.

2	Ended last season with success at Dundalk (6f) and shaped well returning from 6 months off when fourth at Naas (6f) 2 weeks ago, the race not getting to the bottom of him. Represents a yard going well and his present mark looks workable. Interesting. 2nd Pick 2 Gavoo (Ire) Jockey: L. T. Mcateer Trainer: David Marnane, Ireland J: L. T.

1	Justified support on debut in 15-runner maiden at Fairyhouse (6f) last summer, scoring readily from Precise who landed a pair of Grade 1s later in the year. Likely she'll sharpen up for her Cork listed second 3 weeks ago and she remains open to improvement now handicapping. 3rd Pick 1 Quiet Mutiny (Ire) Jockey: G. F.
