Verdict
Aspar made an encouraging start at the Curragh and only just failed to hold the odds-on Moral High Ground at Navan when conceding 4lb. After a successful debut here in April, Blood Moon has been very consistent and been placed in a Group 3 and a very tough nursery at Navan. An Duine Uasal has been taking on stiff competition since his victory at Cork in April though hasn't distinguished himself. WELL CAUGHT made a successful debut here last month and, as the runner-up has won subsequently the form looks good enough for this. Madame Thunder made a winning debut at Naas in April and her subsequent runs have all been at either Group or Listed level so this represents a big drop in class and she has to be respected.
