In depth
Verdict
UNEXPECTED DEPTH was receiving 4lb from Buttons And Bows when beating that rival by over four lengths at Listowel but now has to concede 5lb with Barry Browne's claim taken into consideration. However, he looked to have enough in hand to confirm the form and complete a hat-trick. Cusp Of Carabelli was beaten 14 lengths though stayed on when the race was all over before running very well in a better race on a return visit. The four-year-old Quantatmental is generally consistent and ran another good race behind Bay Hill at Bellewstown though could be a couple of pounds high. Foreign Secretary showed potential last winter though may just need this after a long break.
