Verdict
Touch Of Oscar makes a quick reappearance after a 7 lengths second to Jack Hackett at Punchestown on Tuesday though was fortunate as the likely winner fell 2 out. WHATSYOURSTATUS could hardly have been more impressive at Tramore, coming home well clear of Champagne Beauty, who was receiving 12lb and won by 15 lengths a few days later. He has more to do here but looks one to follow. Aforementioned has finished second to smart performers Jerandme and Doctor Duffy so is an obvious threat while Fred The Foot will be suited by this longer trip after staying on over 2m4f at Navan.
