Verdict

For Bill was going for a four-timer when surprisingly beaten by Aura About You in a Grade 3 at Limerick. The pace was very slow that day and neither winner nor runner-up would have been suited but Michael Winters' mare can reverse that form as she'd be difficult to beat on her earlier form. COSCORRIG had been running quite well on unsuitable soft ground before finding conditions much more to her liking when easily beating Uncle Tom Cobley at Navan last month. She looks the one to be on though Leanne would prove a threat if able to repeat the form that saw her beat Whatuthink at Clonmel in October.
