Verdict

Swantykay was well fancied for an opportunity handicap at Kilbeggan last night and if successful would avoid a penalty for this so the result should be monitored. Barry Geraghty has been booked for his stablemate Goal, who has been running well enough to consider while Cristy's Call was also engaged on the same card last night with a good chance and if turning out here is another to watch out for, especially with Danny Benson's claim to aid his cause. Blue Ridge Lane wasn't far behind the latter at Down Royal and has definite chances of reversing the form but it's TORETTO, who is tried in a visor after a very good run at Kilbeggan where mistakes probably cost him the race, who looks the one to be on. Coldstonesober continues to run well without quite getting there as he did at Roscommon on Monday.
