      Verdict

      BAILLY was well supported on his debut at the Curragh but looked in need of the experience which he put to good use at Bellewstown, coming home well clear of runner-up Sundance Star. The latter has a 5lb pull but looks held so Glamorous Power looks more of a threat after chasing home Sakura, trained like the selection by Ger Lyons, at Navan. Johnny Murtagh's horses have been in good form and Heart Stealer is a half-brother to a couple of winners up to 7f.
