RACING POST VERDICT

I Ready heads this nine-runner six-furlong contest at the Curragh five points clear of Banks Of The Boyne, with Mr Montauk and High Morals representing the main dangers in what looks a competitive sprint on good ground. Banks Of The Boyne and Mr Montauk will need to find improvement to close the gap, while High Morals is only a few points further back and cannot be dismissed entirely. The confidence is medium rather than high, so punters should keep an eye on how I Ready travels in the early stages, though the form edge is there to be exploited over six furlongs on good ground. I Ready is the selection.
