Verdict

WHIMSY rather agonisingly found only a less exposed sort from the Mullins' yard too strong in a maiden at Punchestown 12 days ago. Miles clear of the remainder that day, she holds obvious claims again and shades the vote to belatedly open her account in this sphere. Innatendue and Long Gone may emerge as the chief dangers.

  1. WHIMSY
  2. INNATENDUE (FR)
  3. LONG GONE (IRE)
