In depth

Verdict

James Tate sends KYLLANG ROCK (NAP) from the UK and she deserves another crack at this level after a smooth victory on ground too testing at Musselburgh. She was narrowly beaten at Listed level at York and Haydock around this time last year and can gain her first black type. Primo Uomo is penalised for his Listed victory at Navan where he had Gorane just behind. The runner-up is better off at the weights and was returning from a break so is expected to reverse the form. Ardhoomey was beaten narrowly by Acapulco in this a year ago but surprisingly didn't win subsequently. He was conceding Gorane 7lb when beating him a length at Tipperary in August so should take care of Henry De Bromhead's filly again. Fashion Queen is another UK raider and though she beat the selection at York a year ago she ran poorly on her return to action at Bath.
