In depth

Verdict

SO WONDERFUL, placed in the Irish 1000 Guineas, will be having her 12th start and has never won. She's performed with credit behind the likes of Alpine Star, Love and Peaceful and gets another chance to put matters right. The year older Silk Forest will be conceding 8lb and that may prove just beyond her though she ended the last campaign with a very easy victory on testing ground at Naas and probably found the going too quick on her reappearance in a Group 2 at the Curragh. Soul Search was behind the selection in the Curragh classic but didn't get the run of the race at Fairyhouse last time while any more rain would be to the advantage of Lady Wannabe.
