Verdict
New Treasure carries a penalty for his shock Group 3 victory at the Curragh which came on heavy going. Dickiedooda landed a Listed contest at Cork though both of her victories have been over 5f on fast ground. She looks better than stable companion Bell I Am while Tammany Hall needs to step-up from his nursery victory over Tar Heel, who runs in the previous race. DENSE STAR finished in front of Dickiedooda in a Naas Listed race last month and made most for a convincing maiden success at Navan. She's still improving and could be good enough. Finest has had little chance in Group 2/3 company since scrambling home in a Limerick maiden.
