Verdict

STRONG ROOTS has returned better than ever, arguably pressing on for home too soon when finishing a very good third at Clonmel (19.4f) 8 days ago. She earns the vote with her rider's claim off-setting her rise in the weights. Lily Light Foot and Miss Us O similarly arrive in good order and can also play a part.

  1. STRONG ROOTS (IRE)
  2. LILY LIGHT FOOT (IRE)
  3. MISS US O (IRE)
