Verdict

BELLA BLUESKY shaped well following a wind op here last time, only giving way in the closing stages having looked the most likely winner between the final two flights. She is taken to strike, perhaps at the chief expense of Caithness, who has more on his plate than when landing a C&D maiden last month but he remains unexposed. Ring of Beara is third choice ahead of Cuzco du Mathan and Duyfken.

  1. BELLA BLUESKY
  2. CAITHNESS (IRE)
  3. RING OF BEARA (FR)
