Verdict

It wasn't a particularly strong maiden in which BELLA BLISS finished third on her hurdles debut over this C&D but she showed enough that day to suggest that a race of this nature would be within her reach. Trendy Lady's form reads very well in this context, but it was disappointing that she failed to land the odds at Wexford and there's an air of vulnerability about her now. That said, she is still nominated as the main danger ahead of Diamondinthemud and Sula Warrior.

  1. BELLA BLISS (IRE)
  2. TRENDY LADY (IRE)
  3. DIAMONDINTHEMUD (IRE)
