Verdict

CASH BACK is undoubtedly the interesting one in this maiden. Placed twice at Auteuil the season before last, the Linda’s Lad gelding is now with Willie Mullins and is a brother to the stable’s Grade 1 winner Draconien – it’s unlikely that the lack of a recent run will be a problem. Automatic’s run at Clonmel last month was his best so far and Rachael Blackmore is doing the steering today but Cosmo's Moon has changed stables and hasn’t raced in almost 12 months. Makka Pakka has ability and will be one to watch in handicaps in the near future.
