Verdict

THECOMPANYSERGEANT pulled too hard over an extended 2¾m on his Galway reappearance. That should have knocked some of the freshness out of Denis Hogan's 6-y--o and he's the clear pick on the form he showed in the spring now returning to a shorter trip. 4-y-os Shajak and Baltic Bird should have more to come after last-time-out wins and can give the selection most to do.
