In depth

Verdict

Ballroom finished fourth at Cork last week but was beaten only a length by Emiyna over C&D before that. The latter finished just in front of COMPELLING at Leopardstown in November and David Wachman's filly looks to have a leading chance in a race won by her stable last year. Laughing just failed to catch the winner over a mile here on her racecourse debut a fortnight ago and has every chance, while an improved effort from Brazilian Breeze would come as no surprise on her reappearance. The remainder look up against it unless one of the newcomers is something special.
