In depth
Verdict
Denis Hogan brings out GOPSIES DAUGHTER under a penalty for a comfortable victory here on Saturday. She'd been running really well in the run-up to that event and a quick double looks on the cards over this slightly longer trip. Kings Of Luxor, who finished third, was staying on at the finish and can get closer. Bellick made a promising handicap debut at Tipperary last month, though that was on testing ground. Time Stands Still hasn't been beaten far in his last five starts and Kevin Manning's presence puts him in the picture while Guiding Star is being kept busy having had two recent runs at Ayr, including when third there on Monday.
