Kenough, Nazario

Verdict

Nazario probably sets the standard, ahead of Fox In Flight, but a chance is taken on KENOUGH who looked impressive in winning a barrier trial for Diego Dias and now debuts for Joseph O’Brien in the Ethical Diamond colours of the H O S Syndicate. O’Brien also has Another Day Done so the market should be informative. Others to conside in a decent maiden are Now Maybe and Cosmic Motion. [Alan Hewison]
