In depth

Verdict

Apache Outlaw, by Churchill out of a winning sprinter, made a promising start on testing ground at Roscommon and should get into the mix. PANIC ALARM also made a promising start over this track and trip in a race that has worked out well and normal progress can see him land this. Blue News was staying on over 5f at Cork and Queenie St Clair looks the type to improve markedly for her run at Naas where Nituna finished just in front. Kieran Cotter's speedily-bred Thai Legacy, a half-sister to three winners, is one to keep an eye on along with Papilio and Ard Mhacha.
