In depth
Verdict
Thomas O'malley has had plenty of chances though he's run well here and was staying on strongly over the track and trip last time. SLANEY STREET has looked moderate in his two starts on the track but hasn't had the run of the race in either and his overall form just about gives him the edge. Mr Shelby and All About Grace will be better for their experiences on this track while Flying Expectation's dam has had seven foals previously and all have won, mostly in Italy.
