In depth

Verdict

Prettiest hasn't been running as badly as form figures suggest though will need to raise her game again. Pirate Jenny won a Naas Listed contest in the summer and wasn't disgraced in Group 3 company there next time. PRETTY REBEL (NAP) is a smart handicapper stepping up to this level for the first time. She easily holds My Eyes Adore You on their run in a Naas handicap in July and can make the transition. Emilie Gray's close second in this grade at Galway puts her in the frame but she was well beaten on softer ground at Killarney.
