Verdict

CURRACLOE looked a very useful prospect when making a winning debut at Gowran and, open to plenty of progress, is taken to make an immediate impact at stakes level. Damsel In Distress was placed at this level last time despite looking stretched by 1m and rates the main danger back at 7f, while Alpine Wedding is respected after improving last time but would be better suited by stepping up to 1m.
