In depth
Verdict
Harpocrates has come up against some smart rivals and performed with credit but this also looks a tough contest. Latin Five improved to land a Curragh nursery but will need to find more while Prince Of Naples has made good progress with every run and stayed on strongly to land a Fairyhouse maiden. Nope put the experience of a very promising debut here to good use with a smooth maiden victory at Fairyhouse and there's more to come but this can go to PEACE CHARTER. Ger Lyons' filly made a successful debut here before beaten narrowly in a Group 3 on a return visit. She ran a fine race in the Group 2 Airlie Stud Stakes at the Curragh last time and can take care of Pronouncement, who will be winning soon judged on a very good run at Fairyhouse.
