In depth
Verdict
Hands On got well behind on his racecourse debut in what was a strong contest at Listowel but stayed on nicely and will have come on a bundle for the experience. He easily holds Ifitwasme on that run but Gigginstown paid €215,000 for KALEOSUN after he landed a 1m3f bumper at Durtal in April and he'll be expected to start paying his way so gets the vote. Macinamillion is a 10-race maiden on the Flat but Right Now has shown potential in his five starts and Union Flag is fit from a couple of decent efforts at Dundalk.
