In depth
Verdict
Son Of Rest scored over this trip on heavy going at Cork then found Listed company over 7f on fast going too much for him at Naas. Patuano also won over the distance at Cork before stepping up to an extended 6f at Listowel where she ran well but just couldn't find the extra. Tinder has done better over further including on her reappearance in a Group 3 over 7f at Leopardstown. Alfredo Arcano has won over the trip at Dundalk but has never faced soft ground and is another who may need further while Stormy Belle has never run over the minimum. IDYLLIC ACRYLIC won over 6f at Fairyhouse but was in the lead at this trip and has form on soft going so she's given the nod in a tight handicap.
