      In depth

      Verdict

      The likelihood of fast ground has had its effect on the line-up but there are still a couple of decent types entered. FEROCIOUS FRAN made a fair debut behind Purple Glow at Navan and wasn't beaten far in a better race behind Oor Jock at Naas. Mr Man In The Moon ran very fast for a long way before being swallowed up by Emperor Hadrian at Navan. That was over 6f so today's trip looks his optimum at present and Eternal Youth, who was well beaten, looks held. Bisou Baby produced easily her best effort to date when runner-up to Anadolu over the C&D last month but will need to improve again to lose her maiden tag here.
