    Verdict

    Launch hasn’t done much wrong, despite her maiden status, and has every chance on her latest third in a Cork nursery. Rush Queen was progressing nicely until finding the step into Group 3 company last time too demanding. THE CARIBBEAN is not a leading light at Ballydoyle but he was also going the right way until upped to Group level last time. This rates a far more realistic assignment and the No Nay Never colt can return to winning ways. Bofa is best watched for now.
