Verdict

FIT FOR THE JOB was a 20/1 chance when making his debut at the Curragh last month but defied his odds with a smart display. He would have finished closer with a clear run and will have come on a bundle for the experience so should take this. Devonshire's second to Itorio now looks better after the winner went on to finish runner-up in a much better race so Willie McCreery's filly looks a real threat Bobbi Grace showed very good pace at the Curragh and only faded close home over that 7f trip so she's likely to lead them a merry dance and won't be easy to peg back. Sir Raston has looked as though he needs further than this but Lady Mandeville is speedy enough to get involved.
