In depth
Verdict
Bay Of Skaill is 0-17 on Turf and was beaten 8 lengths into third at Gowran. Improving is 0-13 but ran his best race when beaten narrowly over the track and trip a year ago. Fugacious hasn't been seen since runner-up at the Curragh in October but his trainer can get one ready and Colin Keane has been booked. Noirvento beat a huge field at Cork in August and continued to run well from her revised mark while NEYLAND appeared to show massive improvement when runner-up over 7f at Fairyhouse. The latter was in the lead at this trip and can go one better if in the same mood.
