Verdict

VERHOYEN looked a certain future winner when a close second in a Listed contest at Naas and just gets the vote on that run. He ran quite well on soft ground at the Curragh next time but disappointed when sent to Hamilton last month so might have difficulty seeing off Sankari Royale on these terms. Johnny Murtagh's filly caught the eye on her debut at Fairyhouse and went off odds-on when returning there last week but was caught in the shadow of the post. Play Your Part has plenty of pace in her pedigree and looks well bought at 3500 euros but I Am Power has plenty of weight and the main threat may arrive in the shape of Raramauri, the third foal of a mare who has already produced two winners including in Listed class.
