Verdict

MARONELLA is the fourth foal of a mare who has already produced three winners. She caught the eye with a very promising run behind the well regarded Red Ivy at Navan in October and can make a successful return. Hat Alnasar put the experience of his opening run to good use when just failing to hold the late thrust of Song Of Love over a mile three weeks ago. This shorter trip will suit and he has to be a threat to all. In The Dark was staying on behind the in-form Have A Great Day over a furlong shorter that night and the step-up in trip is just what she requires. Tommy Stack invariably has his team in top shape for the start of the Turf season so with the Curragh only a few weeks away Unchanged is one to keep an eye on in the market.
