Verdict
Plenty of course winners here including Amazing Emma, who is 6lb higher than when successful a year ago. She was twice narrowly beaten by Curraheen Princess over the track and trip in May and is only marginally better off. Speedacus gained his only success to date in a course and distance nursery but has been racing in stronger company though JAZZY DANCER will be difficult to beat despite a 10lb rise if the headgear, worn for the first time at Naas, works again. He'd been racing over a mile before dropping to this trip and making all to beat that good yardstick Teddy Boy comfortably. Sosallycanwait led for a long way on her return from a break at Down Royal and should be up to winning soon.
