Verdict

STELLAR SYMPHONY arrives on the up and, having found only one too good at Limerick 16 days ago, she's well worth a chance go one better. Birdsandthebees should strip fitter for her recent reappearance, so she's regarded as a danger along with Natural Breeze.

  1. STELLAR SYMPHONY (IRE)
  2. BIRDSANDTHEBEES (IRE)
  3. NATURAL BREEZE (IRE)
