Verdict
Schone Aussicht completed an early-summer double and ran performed with credit in her two subsequent starts over timber while Explosive Boy has shown potential in strong maidens and makes his handicap debut. Buttons And Bows has been chasing and fallen in two of his last three while Macs Charm failed to justify very strong support on heavy ground at Wexford. The latter makes his handicap debut and is worth noting in the market while Sefton Warrior came up against a well-handicapped winner at Clonmel on Thursday. SHANTOU LUCKY looked like winning when sent to the front two out at Fairyhouse but folded on the run-in and ridden with more restraint can get back to winning ways. It Could Be You was engaged in the 1.08 at Navan yesterday.
