Verdict
Missguided got no sort of run when third behind Pirolo in an apprentices’ race at Fairyhouse at the start of the month and is 5lb better off. Peter Fahy’s filly should have done better next time at Naas but has the beating of Mystery Gal on that earlier run. Manomine finished ahead of Pirolo when fourth at Leopardstown and also appears to have the beating of Mystery Gal on collateral form so rates a danger to ROSES NEED RAIN. Andy Oliver’s maiden has been knocking on the door and has been dropped another pound since her fourth at Cork, where she again seemed to find the mile too short.
