Verdict
Man O Work beat subsequent winner Global Export in a Naas maiden and was there with every chance when falling two out in a Fairyhouse Grade 3 a couple of weeks ago. He has a penalty to carry as does the Ballinrobe maiden winner Calvados, though she gets the fillies' allowance and wasn't beaten far when runner-up in an Aintree Listed race in December and in a Naas handicap last month. INSTIT is bred to be a champion and started out with a victory in a maiden hurdle on heavy ground at Pau in December. She could be special and, though this is no easy start, can make a successful debut.
