Verdict

MORNING SOLDIER saw the value of his most recent formline at Naas well advertised by the winner earlier in the week and could represent a spot of value in a maiden likely to produce plenty of future winners. The Kemble Brewery has justified Kim Bailey’s confidence to go big at the sales with two wins in bumpers though Tellherthename realised an even bigger price having won a point-to-point in Ireland and wasn't far away on his debut under Rules. David Pipe took the opening race on Friday so don't be surprised to see Tough Approach give a fair account. Innatendue has hit the frame regularly in Ireland and will attempt to make the mares allowance count.
