Verdict

Most of these are making their nursery debuts though not Cuban Surfer, who led for a long way in a similar race over track and trip last month. Spiritual Impulse ran well for a long way in a maiden on the same card while HEAVENLY RAINBOW, who made a successful debut over this trip at Fairyhouse with Chernish a long way behind, has been finding 7f too far subsequently and can take this under his 7lb claimer. Ascot Dreamer should appreciate stepping up in trip while Hammersmith ran well over the trip at Naas before finding Group 3 company and 7f beyond him at Leopardstown.
