In depth

Verdict

EALAIN AIBREAN is likely to start a short-priced favourite and should lose her maiden tag. Dermot Weld's filly made a promising start at Dundalk early this month then found only Sacred Aspect too strong at Leopardstown and there's probably more to come. Lady Clitico wasn't far behind runner-up Heart Focus at Tipperary and a line through the latter places her very close to the selection and she should make a race of it. Tom Dooley has been showing good pace over further after his debut over this trip at the Curragh while the very speedily-bred Hurryupharriet may prove best of the newcomers.
