In depth
Verdict
Don Pedro showed massive improvement from his opening run when a close third at Dundalk and wouldn't need much more to get competitive. Massif Central has had plenty of chances and has been gelded since his last start in May so RINGSIDE SUPPORT looks the best option. Jim Bolger's charge has produced two decent efforts on this track and gave the odds-on Air Of Supremacy a run over 1m4f last time. World Stage looks a big threat after an encouraging start at Navan though may do better over further while Dermot Weld's newcomer Amuse Bouche, a 145,000gns yearling, is one to note on his belated debut.
