In depth
Verdict
HERMINIO was having his first start since scoring on the Flat in France in 2015 when third at Punchestown last month and though beaten a long way it should have brought him on enough to take this. Denham Sound has been running well and probably came up against a decent rival when runner-up to Treasure Chest at Kilbeggan on Sunday so he looks certain to be in the shake-up. Play The Part won a bumper here but has been beaten a long way over timber and the remainder will need to improve though Statistical would have to be considered if getting a run from his reserve spot.
