In depth
Verdict
Wild Sam was staying on when second over 2m at Naas last month so the extra yardage here should be right up his street. He has every chance of recouping losses having started on that occasion. But I’M SERIOUS also found only one too good at Cork last week and his yard is in cracking form. He’s due to go up 5lb from next week so this looks a good opportunity for Denis Hogan’s five-year-old, who has been lightly-raced. Lady Mangan and Charms Bracelet would have place claims on their best form but Analyse That has plenty to find with the selection on recent form.
