Verdict
PIMLICO cost €360,000 and though looking nothing special in two runs to date is likely to do better over this longer trip. He had Don Julio close behind at Leopardstown last time and should take care of that rival and the latter's yard is also represented by Piz Badile, by first-season sire Ulysses out of a 1m2f Listed winner. Buckaroo is by Fastnet Rock out of a middle-distance Listed winner while Capoeira is out of a 7f two-year-old winner. The latter's yard is also represented by Karakoul, who should improve for his run at Naas.
