      Verdict

      Spanish Steps stepped up on a comeback third at Navan when beaten under a length at Cork last Sunday but faces a battle here with the filly SWITCH IN TIME. A daughter of Galileo, she had a couple of Ballydoyle fillies behind when third on her reappearance here last month and will strip fitter today. Vienna Circle, another well-bred filly, was a fair second at Listowel on her introduction and she’ll know more here while the seven-year-old Runyon Rattler has won a bumper and hurdle so is no slouch.
