In depth

Verdict

Cadamosto did well to better more-experienced market rival Silver Surfer at Dundalk. He was going away at the finish but a strict line through the runner-up suggests he will have to improve markedly to beat last month’s easy course and distance winner MISSING MATRON. The market will be the best guide to the newcomers with Benevolent and Cheerupsleepyjean arguably the pick of breeding.
