Verdict

GIUSEPPE CASSIOLI has won off higher marks on the all-weather and a second at Killarney last time suggests he’ll be notching a first win on Turf before long. Purring Along finished in front of Golden Freckle when fourth at Killarney though both race from out of the weights in this while Mercurial is back up in distance after a length defeat over 6f at the Curragh.
