Verdict

DOCTOR NIGHTINGALE has made a good start over hurdles and a reproduction of any of those efforts could be enough for Gordon Elliott's filly to get off the mark. She can get the better of Expelliarmus, who shaped as if in need of the experience sent hurdling when third at Ballinrobe recently, with Emotivo and Pigeon House rounding off the shortlist.

  1. DOCTOR NIGHTINGALE (IRE)
  2. EXPELLIARMUS (IRE)
  3. EMOTIVO (IRE)
