In depth

Verdict

One Cool Poet's narrow defeat by Perfect Tapatino at Leopardstown was a very good run and he didn't look suited by dropping down in trip at Naas the following day. The lightly-raced Shadow Seven caught the eye on his handicap debut at Navan and didn't appear suited by heavy ground at Limerick but YO TAMBIEN was very impressive in those conditions on the same track where she won by over six lengths. She's been done no favours by the handicapper but providing the ground remains soft she can defy her big weight rise. Giorni Felice hasn't won in 10 starts since landing a Roscommon maiden and hasn't proved himself over the trip.
