        Verdict

        VIAREGGIO was making her nursery debut when scoring over Cork's straight 7f from Dickochea and Nectarine. The placed pair appeared to have every chance and though slightly better off at the revised weights the winner can confirm the form. The latter's stable companion Approach To Life makes her nursery debut after three solid efforts in maidens while Gabbys Girl has come up against some very smart winners and Colin Keane takes over from an apprentice.
