Verdict
Joseph O'Brien has made a flying start to his training career and UDOGO can defy a penalty for last week's victory at Leopardstown. He'd been racing at Dundalk but bounced off the fast ground on his return to Turf and won convincingly. Taqaseem was returning from almost two years off when a close fourth behind Roconga at Dundalk in April so with that under his belt he's expected to do better. Grey Sky Blue was going on very strongly at the finish over slightly further at Navan last month, though the quicker ground here may not be in her favour. Pincode, who wasn't far behind, is better on this type of going and could turn the tables. Jeremys Joy went up an incredible 15lb for a facile victory on very heavy going at Leopardstown then finished last in a Listed contest over a mile at Navan.
