In depth

Verdict

Pandora Lovegood finished in front of Roman Moon at Limerick but the latter is likely to make more progress and will be better suited by this stiff finish. WHO NOT WHAT never got involved at Leopardstown but kept on when the race was all over and can improve enough to take this. Roman Hands was very green at Listowel and may need another run but Palace Gardens defied a huge SP to finish second to Apache Outlaw at Fairyhouse and the winner was a close third in the Railway Stakes at the Curragh. Montesilvano is closely related to three winners while O’Banion’s dam has produced two-year-old winners with her first two offspring.
