Verdict

Though she remains a maiden following a dozen attempts, GREEK FLOWER made the frame for the seventh time when runner-up over 7f Down Royal last month. This drop back in trip looks a good move and she is taken to get off the mark, perhaps at the chief expense of First Gentleman. Of the others, Nouvel Espoir is the most interesting.

  1. GREEK FLOWER (IRE)
  2. FIRST GENTLEMAN (IRE)
  3. NOUVEL ESPOIR (IRE)
