Verdict

Vocal Experience didn't show much in two races at the Curragh but should do better over this sort of trip. The Wave Rock didn't get the hang of the job until much too late at Dundalk last month and progress is guaranteed though Aidan O'Brien also runs Monarch, a full-brother to Roderic O'Connor and two other winners and a half-brother to three winners. He could be a very smart prospect but the experience gained by MANEEN on ground with some give at Navan in October, when he stayed on strongly over this trip, may prove enough to enable him to go one better.
