Verdict

NAKED COWBOY was winning for the first time when coming from behind to land a Gowran handicap on soft ground and, though 8lb higher and racing in better company, he had a bit to spare and is taken to follow up. Mahaazen looked ideally suited by testing ground when landing a Tipperary maiden on her final juvenile start and doesn't look unduly burdened starting her handicap career off 78. She looks sure to go well while Articilitis has now dropped to a reasonable mark and showed with a very good run here last time that her turn isn't far away. Fairylike has won once in 18 starts and is 8lb higher but Authinger scored over hurdles at Tramore last month and is the type to make further progress on the level.
