Verdict

SLOWDOWNBARNEY built on a sequence of placed efforts in Ireland when gaining a breakthrough success in a higher grade here 12 days ago and he may well be up to following up from this 7 lb higher mark. Grand Duchess Olga wasn't seen to best effect latest and rates a threat, with another last-time-out winner, Moon Over The Sea entitled to be in the mix, too.
