Verdict

THOMAS O'MALLEY started a short-priced favourite here earlier this month but was unfortunate enough to bump into a well-regarded newcomer. He stayed on well enough and can gain compensation. Sir Danilo had been well beaten in two starts on Turf which is why he was a 66/1 chance here three weeks ago but belied his odds with a cracking effort in what looked a decent maiden. Pedisnap showed decent speed on her debut over a mile and wasn't beaten far at the finish though All About Grace may prove more of a threat having finished around four lengths behind the selection last time.
