Verdict

CASTAFIORE PARK was ultimately impressive in securing a victory at Down Royal when running to her mark, given the nature of that success it could be possible a 9lb rise may not be able to hinder her chances. She looks to have a solid profile in a race where many have chances. Frankly All Talk looked to be in the process of running a huge race before tumbling here last time and could be dangerous if replicating that form. While the likes of Carrignagapple and Flynsini ran encouragingly on their debut but will need to find a bit more on ratings.
