In depth

Verdict

Zadarska started favourite on his bumper debut at Clonmel but could only finish fourth, a long way behind runner-up and today's rival DANCE THE DEVIL. The latter was heavily supported and only just came off worse with Saoirse's Sister and should recoup losses. Silver Canyon made a promising debut behind Hidden Universe at Limerick a year ago and was made favourite for his next start at Sligo but didn't fire and has been absent since. Mister Music Man had plenty of chances last year and was beaten a long way on his final start at Clonmel in October.
