Verdict
Only Auden and MIGHTY WHITEY have shown any worthwhile form and they are very closely matched on their run behind Dusty Trail over 1m4f at Tramore last month. The former, who ran quite well over a trip too short at Laytown on Tuesday, was just over two lengths behind his rival and is 7lb better off but the latter is more likely to be suited by the fast ground so is taken to confirm the form. The betting may tell us if anything else is fancied with Hoppsan taken as the only possible alternative as she hasn't been totally disgraced in better class.
