Verdict

This looks decidedly trappy but FAIR DAMSEL arrives less exposed than most and, having run her best race to date when runner-up behind re-opposing Itsalonglongroad at Thurles, she could well be up to turning the tables with the cheekpieces fitted for the first time. Bayou Belle and Astrophysicist are others fancied to feature.

  1. FAIR DAMSEL (IRE)
  2. ITSALONGLONGROAD
  3. BAYOU BELLE (IRE)
