ANDROMEDA looks the Ballydoyle stable pick ahead of Gleaning after two narrow defeats on testing ground. She had Camelot Alexander behind at Tipperary and should confirm the form. Higher Leaves made a nice start behind Ezeliya at Cork when just a head behind Whisper A Prayer, who had previous experience, but ahead of Get - the winner runs in the previous race. Realt Na Ri may prove the pick of several well-connected newcomers as she's by Kingman out of a mare who has produced winners with all nine offspring to race so far.
