Forecasts

Verdict

The Jessica Harrington-trained DRAGON GIRL is taken to build on a fourth of 14 beaten over 5L on return to the track at Naas and should strip fitter for that run. More fancied runner Sebastiano Ricci and Baroness can be expected to improve on their last starts to claim a place.
  1. Dragon Girl
  2. Sebastiano Ricci
  3. Baroness
