Verdict
Canary Row had FORESTER a head behind when they finished behind Dawn Approach in the first juvenile race of the turf season at the Curragh. Both will have come on for the run but Aidan O'Brien's colt looked very green and should have made the most progress. He can take this though the winner's trainer, Jim Bolger, is double handed with newcomer Move To Strike, a half-brother to several winners, likely to prove better than the once-raced Sceilg. The very speedily-bred Desert Of Dreams may do best of the remainder.
