Verdict

DELTA DAWN looked a certain future winner when twice narrowly beaten as a two-year-old but didn't reappear until a fortnight ago at Fairyhouse. He will have come on a bundle for the run and, with this likely to prove a real stamina test, he can get off the mark. Fil The Power chased home the smart Jason The Militant on the same card and will be suited by stepping up in trip as will Caldwell though the one guaranteed to stay is Pike County, a winning bumper who has been placed three times over timber. Flor De La Luna started odds-on for her debut at Roscommon in June but went lame and was quickly pulled up.
