In depth
Verdict
Exact will handle conditions and sets the standard here on his latest second at Navan, where he only found Brinestine three-quarters-of-a-length too good. The blinkers remain in place but he's been a little disappointing overall and won't represent much in the way of value. HIGHLAND MISS shaped with promise on her debut here over 1m4f. Dermot Weld's filly can improve for the experience and has more scope than the Ballydoyle representative. The Alarm Clock produced a better effort over 1m4f at Galway last time and won't mind the drop back in distance. He could also go well with Noel Meade's stable showing signs of a revival lately.
