Verdict

BLACK TONIC shaped well on his second start for this yard at Kilbeggan a fortnight ago, leaving the strong impression that he would be well-served by this step up in trip. He makes a fair bit of appeal now faced with a stiffer test off the same mark. The consistent Hard Target looks sure to be involved and is next on the list ahead of Galmar and Man After Midnight.

  1. BLACK TONIC
  2. HARD TARGET (IRE)
  3. GALMAR (IRE)
