Verdict

Rangefield Express and Rest Bay finished third and fifth respectively in a Dundalk maiden in early May, the form of which now reads very well as the runner-up on that occasion went on to score in Listed company next time before posting a creditable sixth in this week's Queen Mary at the Royal meeting. Placings should be confirmed here but the winner of that Dundalk contest hails from the Ger Lyons yard so the stable have a good line to the form with KAFU. The No Nay Never colt showed promise in a mid-division finish at the Curragh on debut and should prove a different proposition here with that experience to call upon. The Black Dandy came home last of six on debut but the run was better than the result suggests and his yard has been in sparkling form.
