Verdict

Oscar Vespasian faced fast ground for the first time in a maiden at Downpatrick and ran his best race so far. He can make further progress and should reach the frame though INDIAN FAIRY looks the one to be on. She really caught the eye at Downpatrick last time, coming with a late run when the winner had flown and almost snatching second place. This looks no tougher and a first victory looks on the cards. Winning point-to-pointer Loch Ard Lady won't be phased by the quick ground though she hasn't run since December, but Feel The Air has been consistent and it will be a surprise if she doesn't get involved in the finish.
