Verdict

Waterville was an odds-on beaten favourite for his first three starts and had to step up to 2m1f to land a Limerick maiden, which he did with ease. He has to concede weight all-round here and easy Fairyhouse handicap winner NECTARINE only just failed to follow-up in a Curragh handicap on Sunday and in receipt of 7lb looks the one to beat. Point King was impressive when landing a 1m4f Fairyhouse maiden and there's plenty more to come so he may prove the main threat.
