      Verdict

      Izzer won the Brocklesby then a better race at Bath at the beginning of the season. Both victories were on testing ground so how he adapts to these conditions will decide how he fares. Andre Amar was well supported at Dundalk and though only winning narrowly had a bit in hand. Offline also had his first start on the Polytrack and hardly gave his supporters a moment's concern so he should improve as should Dandys Ocean, a very speedily-bred filly who had no problems landing a Curragh maiden last weekend. SERGEI PROKOFIEV was surprisingly beaten at Dundalk but made no mistake at Navan where he always travelled like a winner. He should win more races this season starting here.
