In depth
Verdict
Free Flow was a 66/1 chance when tackling a mile at Dundalk in December but ran well and will be better suited by this trip. Parish Star will be better for last month's run at the Curragh where she stayed on nicely over that mile but this can go to a newcomer. Carlo Bianconi was an inexpensive purchase while Goldenstatewarrior's pedigree suggests he'll do better over further so a chance is taken with the filly YOUCRACKMEUP, who is related to a winner and should appreciate the trip.
