In depth
Verdict
YANKEE STADIUM has had no sort of run in two of this last three starts and probably found 1m4f on heavy going too far in the other. He gets another chance here though there are plenty of dangers including Actuary, who started favourite at Killarney after a very promising debut at Cork but found 1m3f stretching his stamina. Ballinlough Gale was battling on over this trip at Thurles while Marchetti has only had three runs and ran very well for third in a Curragh maiden last month. Freepark is related to a couple of smart hurdlers and is one to note on his debut.
