Verdict

On the face of it ACAPULCO BAY has plenty on his plate in attempting to lower the colours of more established stablemate Delacroix, but the son of Dubawi wasn't beaten far by that rival on debut at the Curragh last summer and, having suffered a setback after winning a maiden there next time, he didn't have the opportunity to show his true worth as a 2-y-o. His reappearance effort over 1m at Naas was highly encouraging and this step up in trip looks a good move. Tennessee Stud also has claims.

  1. ACAPULCO BAY (IRE)
  2. DELACROIX (IRE)
  3. TENNESSEE STUD (IRE)
