Verdict

It looks likely to pay to side with horses drawn low in this contest with the return to a sounder surface likely to suit COSIMO MEDICI and he can make a winning handicap debut from stall four in this contest. The selection finished third on good ground at Gowran Park prior to disappointing at the same venue on soft three weeks later. Joseph Murphy's charge was keen enough when making his seasonal debut at Dundalk last week but should strip fitter for that outing and he can get the better of Epitaph who finished a head runner-up here last week with Hyperdrive for the in form Jessica Harrington taken to prove best of those drawn high in what looks an open three-year-old handicap.
  1. Cosimo Medici
  2. Epitaph
  3. Hyperdrive
