In depth

Verdict

SUSPECT DEVICE landed a Fairyhouse handicap over 7f and looked like completing a double over an extra furlong at Wexford but found little in the closing stages. This is his trip and he still looks on a fair mark. Missile Command is progressing along the right lines and was staying on over the minimum trip at Cork last time. He'll be a threat while Bonnie Acclamation also produced a decent effort at Cork and has to be considered. Balmont Flyer had looked progressive with a good run at Navan in June and can't have been at his best at Killarney last time.
