In depth

Verdict

MOUNT MERU caught the eye in no uncertain terms in what looked a strong maiden at Naas won by Captain Obvious. He's certain to be suited by the extra furlong and looks a promising type. Harry Trotter has been found wanting at the business end on both starts over 7f but should still get involved here as should Coppertop, another who should relish the longer trip after two runs over 6f. Allusive Power made an encouraging debut at Fairyhouse but was always struggling there next time where she caused trouble at the start.
