Verdict

Famous has been mixing it with the best but has been out of form and may need a confidence boost. Stablemate Lord High Admiral finished last on his return but can do much better and Gan Amhras looked on the way back to form behind Famous Name at Leopardstown. Mark Johnston does very well with his entries in Ireland and he looks to have found a good opportunity for ST MORITZ, who is stepping out of handicap company but looks ready to make the transition after an impressive success in the former Bunbury Cup at Newmarket.
