In depth
Verdict
The only three-year-old, Teo's Sister, was a big disappointment at Naas after her opening success at Leopardstown but she never settled that day and is better than she showed. Northern Rocked went from a mark of 79 to 101 in two runs and hasn't quite been able to cope but race conditions are in his favour and he should be in the shake-up. He holds Bay Knight on their run at Galway, though it's SKYWAY who gets the vote as she hasn't had much racing but looked very progressive when runner-up in a hot Leopardstown handicap in May. She couldn't handle the step-up to Group 3 company at Epsom subsequently but looks to have a fair chance in this lesser grade. Giant Step began the season in great style but has disappointed in his most recent starts.
