Verdict

SUBSTANCE left the impression his breakthrough Roscommon victory 12 days ago was only scratching the surface of what he may well have to offer this year and Joseph O'Brien's colt can make light of a 10 lb rise, albeit in what is a much deeper affair. Gavoo caught the eye on his reappearance and is another to be interested in for a stable going well. Quiet Mutiny, Zenford and Star of Sapphire are others making each-way appeal.
