Verdict

J P McManus has a couple of potentially smart newcomers engaged and Mark Walsh chooses GOOD HEAVENS, rated 101 on the Flat and certain to have been well schooled. Rachael takes the ride on Sundial, by Galileo and a maiden winner for Aidan O'Brien at Navan last month. The former's yard is also represented by Nusret, who won a Curragh maiden in July and competed in top handicaps subsequently. Impero had some decent form on the level without winning and bumped into a promising type in Common Practice on his hurdling bow at Galway when the more experienced pair Calico and Gig Harbour were behind.
