Verdict

Despite misgivings in respect of how much ability he retains, IRISH BLAZE is nevertheless tempting on his first run for the in-form Nicky Richards yard. The 9-y-o ended his time with Cian Collins on a downer, but resumes here for new connections on a mark that he'll surely be able to exploit should the change of scenery help spark a revival. The unexposed Cobbler's Boy is an obvious danger now pitched into a handicap, while the hat-trick seeking Saligo Bay is also accorded respect.

  1. IRISH BLAZE (IRE)
  2. COBBLER'S BOY (IRE)
  3. SALIGO BAY (IRE)
