Verdict

Joseph O'Brien fields four in this competitive handicap and NEVER FORGOTTEN could be the pick of them. She improved with each of her 3 starts last term, readily outpointing a Group-class filly in a Gowran maiden when last seen 8 months ago. The ground was desperate when Pepperoni Pete bolted up at Navan and bigger threats may be posed by Fil The Power and the selection's stablemate Dance Jupiter.

  1. NEVER FORGOTTEN (IRE)
  2. FIL THE POWER
  3. DANCE JUPITER (IRE)
