In depth
Verdict
This looks one for market watchers. Liath Luachra looked in need of another furlong at Dundalk as did Capel At Dawn on her debut here, though the latter ran on nicely once getting the hang of the job. Liar Liar is a half-brother to five winners though mostly over further but Mogwli is bred for speed being a half-brother to a 5f two-year-old winner. Johnny Murtagh has two entries and Hot Dakota is by the first-season sire Hot Streak though out of a 1m4f winner while Dragon Of Malta is a half-brother to a 7f winner. REBEL TALE gets a speculative vote as he's a half-brother to a 6f winner in the USA.
