Verdict

GALTEE MIST is penalised for winning over the extended 6f at Listowel with Godhead well behind but she returned a clear winner that day and may well defy a penalty. Is That Love also finished behind the selection when bidding for a four-timer while Zephron failed to cope with a 9lb rise at the Curragh for an earlier win at the same track, though drops back down in class for this. Mia Mento went close at Ascot last year and should be sharper for a last month’s debut for Jessica Harrington’s yard.
