Verdict
APACHE OUTLAW showed some inexperience at the start and when taking the lead at the two furlong pole at the Curragh but should have enough pace to go one better. Catherine Of Siena wasn't too far behind and should get even closer while Polar Bear is better than he showed at Cork after a very encouraging debut there where he had Holdonfordearlife behind. The selection's stable companion Goa Gajah is a half-brother to two Dirt winners in the USA.
