Verdict

Very little to go on here so it's likely that BEDROCK LADY will start a short price. Willie Mullins' mare, the first foal of a useful winner, won't need to be anything special to make a successful start and is handed the verdict. Gaius Marius was beaten a long way on his debut at Navan in February but should have learnt from the experience but it's difficult to know what to make of Desperanto, who showed very little for John Wade in three runs at Sedgefield and has joined Shark Hanlon. Tonius was sent to Uttoxeter for his first run and showed enough promise to rate challenging for a place here.
