Verdict
SELF PRAISE looked unlucky in a conditions race at Epsom when tightened up at the start and left with plenty to do. He made up lots of late ground to finished second and will likely prove a warm order to gain compensation in this. The newcomers pose the biggest threat to Hugo Palmer’s colt with Killybegs Warrior, a half-brother to several winners, preferred to Hurricane Kiko and City Of Aliaa.
