Verdict
BELLA FIGURA is handed the vote as she made most and battled back when headed on fast going at Leopardstown and the likely easier conditions will suit. Iron Blue couldn't get to the winner here earlier this month but it was a much improved run from her debut at Limerick while Emerald Eye hasn't been beaten far in her races including her last run at the Curragh. Beach Wedding didn't run badly behind Dawn Delivers at the Curragh on Sunday and is one to note as is Ger Lyons' expensive purchase Ball Girl.
