In depth

Verdict

Unrequited finished first past the post in a Wexford handicap only for his rider to fail to weigh in. Ger Lyons' progressive colt should make a bold bid for compensation. Wrap Star ran so well in a Killarney handicap last month that he was made favourite for a maiden at Galway a couple of weeks ago but didn't produce the goods. He's probably better than that and could reverse the placings with Asbury Boss, who finished just ahead of him. Solar Focus has been threatening to win for some time and battled on when headed by Shalaman at Killarney. A Greater Force attracted good support on his debut at Leopardstown but didn't run up to expectations and may need another run so a chance is taken with the newcomer SENIOR COUNSEL, a son of Galileo out of a Park Hill winner who has already produced four decent winners.
