Verdict

SEARCH FOR A SONG, winner of the 2019 and 2020 Irish St Legers, was far from disgraced on three outings during the spring months. However, his best form has arrived in the latter months of each campaign and he sets a good standard at a track where he's gained three of his five victories. He receives a useful 3lb from Raise You, who also steps up to this trip for the first time. The latter was unlucky at Limerick when last seen however. Stable companion Temple Of Artemis has moved from Aidan to Joseph O'Brien but remains unexposed after only four starts, although this does represent a major rise in class. The remaining trio all have plenty to find on official ratings.
