Jennys Melody (7/2), Whistle Dixie (9/2), West Bridge (5/1), The Green Lady (5/1), Twiss's Hill (5/1), Girly Girl (6/1), Golden Flowerpower (12/1)

Verdict

A beginners chase for a number of reasonably talented mares, but one can't help but question whether or not chasing will ever be a suitable vocation for a number of these horses. Whistle Dixie looks far from a guaranteed stayer, and that's before gambling upon her notching a clear round of fencing, whilst Jennys Melody is late enough to a career over the larger obstacles at the age of nine. This longer trip of 2m5f will bring Golden Flowerpower and Girly Girl closer together than at Naas latest, but the safest play in a tricky race is probably to throw a few each-way shekels at the largely consistent mare TWISS'S HILL, but without any real conviction that she's the most obvious of winners in waiting.
  1. Twiss's Hill
  2. Jennys Melody
  3. Girly Girl
