In depth
Verdict
The Names Jock is the only course and distance winner in the line-up and though raised 11lb he won with plenty to spare so looks certain to go well again. Pensylvania Avenue came in for strong support for what looked a strong maiden at Dundalk in November and duly obliged while Harvest Bow continued to run well in nurseries after taking advantage of testing ground at Gowran. Syrena has threatened to win on numerous occasions without doing so and her stable companion Isotope looks to have more of a chance though this will be his first start on Turf. It's Not Too Late is taking a big step-up in trip after running over 5f at Navan but LADY CEDAR looks to have got in here off a lowly mark after an excellent run behind Fresnel in a Dundalk maiden and can go one better.
