Verdict
Wild Irish Rose showed improved form when stepped up to 1m4f at Fairyhouse and made no mistake on a return visit where she won with a bit in hand. She just about holds the fast-finishing third Magen's Moon on that form but Hamley has suddenly found her form and there was plenty to like about her victory at the Curragh though this looks tougher with a 6lb rise to contend with. Byron Beauty is better over further though the forecast rain would aid her cause but this can go to PANDAGREEN. Gavin Crowell's filly has won twice at Leopardstown and got no sort of run when attempting to complete a double at Down Royal last month. Panstarr was impressive when making all in a Roscommon maiden last week though this is much more competitive.
