Verdict

Frankincense never lived up to his outstanding pedigree with Aidan O'Brien but did much better on his hurdles debut at Tramore when chasing home stable companion Blackhillsofdakota and normal progress will see him difficult to beat. Zayriyan has been disappointing having had nine starts over timber and finished last on the Flat at Gowran on Wednesday. Ciao is rated 78 on the Flat despite never having won on Turf but MOMENT IN HISTORY, by Galileo out of a Group 1 winner, wouldn't have been expected to be making his debut in a maiden hurdle at Wexford. The latter could be smart and his trainer often unleashes a decent newcomer at this stage of the season and won this in 2017.
