Verdict

Kim Bailey's EMILY GRAY is penalised 6lb for her three victories over fences which includes two Listed contests. Her only moderate run came when tackling a longer trip and this looks within her capabilities. Uranna took a bit of time to warm up over fences but has definitely improved and wasn't beaten far by Bonny Kate in a Grade 2 at Limerick a couple of weeks ago when Emcon was a dozen lengths back in third. Perfect Promise has failed to fire on testing ground after scoring on good going at Galway in September and the remainder will need to make significant progress to get involved.
