Verdict

Given that the horse he finished second to last time out has gone to win the Epsom Derby, it seems safe to assume that it was decent effort by BIRDS OF PREY to get within 2L at Killarney in August. He's been off since and the trainer's been a bit quite lately but that piece of form, while clearly not to be interpreted literally, still gives him every chance of taking a maiden like this on return if he's ready to roll. Cool Colonnade ran a fine race on debut at Fairyhouse and could enter calculations a value alternative while Pure Action is one to note on this first turf outing and the shortlist is competed by Tenth Amendment, who deserves a mention on his penultimate effort at Cork.
  1. Birds Of Prey
  2. Pure Action
  3. Cool Colonnade
