In depth
Verdict
FLY GIRL made a promising start over a mile here and unless there's something decent amongst the newcomers can make her experience count. Abogados had shown potential at Roscommon but didn't make the expected progress here next time. Messidor is by first-season sire and top miler Vadamos out of a mare from a top family while Watercolourmemories, a half-sister to three winners in Italy, gets in lightly by virtue of being a cheap purchase.
