Verdict
TUT TUT and Nectaris represented Jessica Harrington in a lucrative auction race at Naas on Sunday. The former’s saddle slipped and he finished last while the latter showed good pace until weakening inside the final furlong. Shane Foley has ridden both to victory and chooses the selection so he looks the stable pick. Nectarine had been going well before landing a nursery over a mile here last week, though an 8lb rise makes this tougher. Past Time makes a quick reappearance after finding an extended 5f too sharp at Navan on Wednesday and this is her trip while Marsa has shown potential and makes her handicap debut. Shanghai Dragon didn’t enjoy heavy ground at Gowran on Tuesday and is 5lb out of the handicap.
