In depth

Verdict

Gift Wrap blew the start when a hot favourite at Cork in June and hasn't been seen since. Know is a speedy sort so this extended 5f is a worry and she could set things up for a finisher. David Wachman also runs the superbly-bred newcomer After Dawn, who is a half-sister to the top-class French middle-distance winner Ectot, but she'll surely need further whereas RETINAL looked as though she'd benefit from a drop in trip when third over 7f at Roscommon so she gets a tentative vote with Intense Stylist likely to do better when competing in a nursery. Piazzini should have learned something from her debut at Naas but may need more time.
