Verdict
Clemmie C made a very promising debut when coming from off the pace to chase home the much more-experienced History over the trip at Gowran but the winner's yard is represented by THOUGHTS OF JUNE, who was outpaced in the closing stages behind Trevaunance at Cork with Red Azalea just behind in third. That could be good enough for this though Kerkiyra looks certain to give a good account as her recent conqueror here, Limiti Di Greccio, has subsequently won a Listed contest. Radiyka has been coming up against smart winners and didn't get the run of the race at Punchestown last time. Emily Dickinson is by Dubawi out of an Irish Oaks winner while Trustworthy, in the same ownership, has had a run in a Dundalk barrier trial.
