Verdict
Several of these are open to improvement. POWERFUL KIERAN shaped well at Ballinrobe when only the more-experienced Too Bright proved too good and this consistent Flat handicapper should certainly be in the mix. Helvic Princess showed the benefit of her initial outing when runner-up to Virtual Hug at Gowran Park, with White Pepper and Loughisle Lady close up in fifth and sixth. The latter pair debuted that day and should finish closer now. The market should indicate confidence levels behind Iberique Du Seuil, runner-up on his sole Flat start in France and interesting on a first start for Gordon Elliott.
