Verdict
Chiricahua disappointed when sent off favourite and unseating at Wexford. Cheekpieces are added today and he still has the beating of both Friends N Commerce and Limerick runner-up Coconut Tudor on these terms with a better display of jumping. But EYRE SQUARE finished runner-up in that Wexford race before returning a beaten favourite in testing ground here. Gavin Cromwell’s mare gets another chance on today’s more suitable surface. Copperwell hasn’t raced since a debut back in 2020 and has joined Gordon Elliott’s yard.
