Verdict

Federica Sophia was handed a mark of 91 after an impressive maiden success over the track and trip and has to carry a huge weight. TAURAN SHAMAN started favourite on his return to action over a mile at the Curragh but got no sort of run. He stays this trip and can gain compensation though there are numerous dangers. Sense Of Worth is certainly one of those on his hat-trick bid though it remains to be seen if he can carry his Dundalk improvement over to Turf. Mosala has been improving with every run on the Polytrack and makes his handicap debut from what looks a fair mark though the main threat could arrive in the shape of Akhlaaq. Tony Martin's charge hasn't had much racing for his age and stayed on very strongly when scoring over a mile here last month.
