Verdict
Mutalahef was well beaten in a handicap on his debut for Richard Fahey though is preferred to returning stablemate Katelli. Gowanlad ran well over 5f here at the end of last year and has his first outing since while Roundel has placed in Ireland and gets a change of headgear on his debut for new connections. Oneofararekind may finish closer but a speculative vote goes to €160,000 purchase RAYYAN, who placed without threatening over the minimum trip at Wolverhampton on his debut.
