In depth
Verdict
Baseman is fitted with blinkers having disappointed at the Curragh last time. Too Nice is another looking to put a poor effort behind him having finished runner-up at Navan earlier and FRILL will likely to prove popular in this. The Ballydoyle filly finished clear of the rest when beaten less than a length at Naas and is weighted to beat the more-exposed Elanora. Step And Skip is a newcomer to note.
