In depth

Verdict

Maze Runner's best run as a two-year-old was on heavy ground and he'll no doubt be jumping before too long. ACRUX CASS has a stamina-packed pedigree so will have found 1m2f on the short side at the Curragh. Better is expected here and the remaining trio make their belated racecourse debuts. Singing'n'dancing is a half-brother to two winners and out of a 7f winner but Highdive has a stouter pedigree and appears more likely to be suited by the trip. Shes Gold is more likely to do better with a set of obstacles in front of her.
