In depth
Verdict
A tight-looking maiden but SAMUEL PEPYS looks certain to be suited by the step-up in trip and can get off the mark. Free To Party ran well over the trip at Down Royal while Prophets Voice was only beaten a neck in a Ballinrobe handicap last time. Astelia was a 40/1 chance when a close second at the Curragh and normal progress can see her in the frame while Zoffman was a bit unlucky in-running at Cork. Joseph O'Brien uses Dundalk's barrier trials to good effect and Saturn Five came home in front in one of them last month.
