Verdict

TOUCHING CLOUDS showed up really well on her first run when second at Gowran and can go one better with a fair bit of improvement on the cards from this daughter of War Front. Melnik also made an encouraging start when third at Killarney and can chase home Dermot Weld's filly ahead of Olympicus, Saraqael and Samuel Pepys.

  1. TOUCHING CLOUDS (USA)
  2. MELNIK (IRE)
  3. OLYMPICUS (USA)
