Verdict

Woodcock Flight made an encouraging debut at the Curragh but still looked very inexperienced when finishing last on a return visit. Brazilian Song also made a fair start at the Curragh but had no answer to Blackbeard at Dundalk next time while Distillate looks as though she needs further. Pretty Persuasion was running on over an extended 6f at Listowel so the extra will suit though it would be no surprise to see this go to a newcomer. Lakota Seven cost €125,000 and is from the first crop of Sioux Nation while MOBILISE is a full-brother to the Group 2 winning two-year-old Threat and gets the nod to make a winning start.
