In depth

Verdict

The champion trainer has no less than seven entered here and it wouldn't be a surprise to see bottom weight Pozyc, who really caught the eye when last seen at Naas in March, come out best despite being 5lb out of the handicap. Dorset Square won the race for the yard a year ago beating Deutschland in the process but hasn't been seen since unlike the runner-up who has alternated between hurdles and fences in good company. Ainama ran very well from today's mark at the meeting last year and will be fresher than most while Silverhand has been waiting for faster ground and is not too badly treated despite completing a hat-trick last year. BOG WARRIOR makes his handicap debut after beating a big field in a maiden at Cork in March. There looks to be plenty more to come from Tony Martin's charge and he looks one to follow through the ranks.
