Verdict

RED SEA POLL only showed moderate ability in her first season but reappeared with a much-improved effort to run Possible close at Naas. She's been raised 3lb for that but normal progress can see her go one better. Felina was around 2l behind that day closely followed by Sunrise Song and along with Kanes Pass, who was another length further back, looks held. Faleena, who finished eighth, has since run well at Tipperary so there's nothing wrong with the form. The lightly-raced Dinara makes her handicap bow after three runs over further and is one to keep an eye on while Model Behaviour, yet another who was behind in that Naas event won by Possible, isn't out of this.
