Verdict
Both Azteca and Ruby Wonder went very close here on their latest starts and both look likely to pick up a contest of this nature in the not too distant future. Both handled this track well and respond to quick conditions but choosing between the pair is far from straightforward. The O'Meara horse is afforded slight preference but both may find DYLAN DE VEGA (NAP) too hot to handle. The Fahey inmate produced an excellent debut when running a well-touted Hannon juvenile close on his Nottingham debut, form which sets the standard. Karl Burke's two-year-olds have yet to hit full stride but it's early days and their Speed Dating is one to keep on the right side.
