In depth

Verdict

Blinkers worked the oracle for AURORA PRINCESS at Leopardstown and she opened her account with a bit in hand. She looks worth sticking with, despite a penalty. Evergreen And Red made a winning handicap debut at Cork with She's Good Company back in third though has a 12lb hike in the weights to contend with but Helvic Princess had gone close before running below par behind the selection. Dunum is steadily improving and steps up in trip while Global Welfare makes his handicap debut.
