Verdict

WELL INSURED is still a maiden after 10 starts over timber but produced his best run to date when beaten a head by Owenacurra Milan at Cork earlier this month. He had the much more consistent Korean four lengths back in third that day and should confirm the form and take this, though he rarely runs the same race twice. Jossetown Lad ran poorly over 2m4f at Clonmel last time and is better judged on a close fifth behind Le Reveur over today's trip there in October when Tequila Lord was well behind. Barney King has plenty of weight and has yet to prove he acts on this ground while it would take a leap of faith to fancy Rendezvous Bay as he's been beaten out of sight in three maiden starts.
