Verdict
Shane Foley was on board when Bella Brazil got up close home at Gowran but surprisingly deserts her for ST CLERANS, who showed real potential last season and on her reappearance in a very hot maiden won by Snow earlier this month. The latter could be well in for her handicap debut and gets the nod. Lynn Britt Cabin came home very strongly to catch Bestrella over 7f at Gowran and doesn't look overburdened for her handicap bow while Auxilia has competed in Listed company the last twice and should find this less exacting. Joseph O'Brien has four entries and Chrysalism could come out best having raced in Group 3 company the last twice. She had Salsa behind at Leopardstown on Sunday but Aidan O'Brien's filly didn't get the best of runs and can do much better, as she showed when narrowly beaten here earlier. Faire Croire came with a very powerful late run to snatch the spoils over 7f at Gowran, winning with something in hand, and she has to be considered over this extra furlong.
