Verdict

AWAASEF is yet to live up to her pedigree but she was better than the bare result when fourth over 1¼m at Cork in August, wound up for a run when bumping into a rival 2f out and unable to regain momentum. She's bred to be suited by at least this far and is worth another chance. Ally Cay, Grace To Grace and Bells of Thyme head up the dangers.

  1. AWAASEF
