In depth

Verdict

Oh Grace makes a quick reappearance after a good run behind Spanish Tenor at Leopardstown on Thursday though she was receiving lumps of weight. Duchess Of France just failed to concede 5lb to Love Oasis at Ayr when finishing strongly over 6f so she has to be respected while Gentil J had no chance in the Tattersalls Gold Cup here and is better judged on her double in the autumn. HONOR OAK doesn't win often enough but the assessor has dropped her a couple of pounds after a decent run in a tough handicap here last month and this looks her chance to get back to winning ways. Tobacco Bay was an impressive winner of a Tipperary maiden and is in the could be anything category but Waitaki has been disappointing and her only victory to date has come on the all-weather.
