In depth

Verdict

After an excellent second to O Fortuna at Punchestown, FEVER PITCH was a long odds-on chance to go one better at Wexford but a bad mistake at the last put paid to what had been a laboured performance. He's comfortably the best of those with experience as Raggletagglegypsy has run poorly over timber after showing promise in bumpers. Born To Excel only won once on the Flat, at Gowran in August, but generally performed with credit and looks the type to make a hurdler though a penalty won't help.
