Verdict

Several of these ran here on Sunday with Cnodian narrowly beaten over the minimum with Downforce beaten around three lengths in fourth and Stanhope further behind. Mary Salome was fifth over 7f on the same card with Zephron behind but the former is likely to find this on the short side. The latter had Tammany Hall behind when scoring over the extended 5f at Navan earlier and is a contender along with SECRET MAGICIAN, a winner here in August and only 2lb higher. Martin Hassett's charge has Jamie Powell's claim on his side and can take this though Swift Flight likes it here and looks a threat.
