Verdict

Johnny Murtagh has been unable to find an opening for Cruella Dovil, who has been racing over much further, generally showing good pace before fading. This could be her opportunity though PULSE OF SHANGHAI may have her measure. He ran over 1m2f at Navan in April and was having his first start for new connections when a close fourth over 6f at the Curragh last week where he showed good pace throughout. It's difficult to work up enthusiasm for the remainder as Anthonysoprano has been racing over much further since a promising debut second over 6f at Naas in April. The market is best watched for any support for the remainder.
