Verdict
A valuable claimer which can go the way of Mr Toad, although he has no easy task for a three-year-old, giving weight away all round. Ballybunion has yet to convince he has trained on, but Sir Northerndancer has several bits of form to his name and has every chance on official figures. Best of the older horses could be Princes Street, who can be forgiven his last two efforts as he had excuses both times. The filly Roses Of Spring is another who can be given a chance. She has taken her time to regain her form this term, but there were definite signs last time that she was on the way back.
