In depth

Verdict

Arges again ran well without reward at Naas on Monday, leading for much of the way but having nothing left when headed inside the final furlong. Shoebox King was a 50/1 chance when a close second at Fairyhouse then finished a good third in what looked a strong maiden back there last month. AREILLE, who was just over a length behind in fourth in the latter event, was making her debut so must have a chance of reversing the form. Takana found 5f too sharp at Cork and was staying on nicely so looks best of the remainder.
