Verdict

This can go to VINCY , who looks to have plenty more to offer and who has only been beaten by one horse in two starts, with that horse having recently scored in Group 3 company in Britain. He got off the mark at Dundalk last time in good style, and was probably better value than the official winning distance of a length suggests. If proving as effective on grass for this turf debut, he is taken to record a second career win here, at the expense of Windsor Beach , who has been running well in defeat in weaker races than this, and Cirin Toinne , who acquitted herself well in Listed company last time.
