Verdict

WAKE UP EARLY looked an improved model on his first start for Dr Richard Newland and it's easy to see him maintaining his unbeaten record for the in-form yard here. Ballintogher Boy has upped his game since a tongue-strap has been applied and he too can continue in form, whilst recent C&D third Well Cliche can make the frame again.
