Verdict
Experience may hold sway in these conditions and EYLARA made a very promising debut in what looked a strong Gowran maiden last month. She can go one better though there are some interesting newcomers entered especially Glinting, a half-sister to five winners including Group 3 winner Constantinople. Albedo is a half-sister to three winners though stable companion Jo March may prove best of the pair for now as she's by Zoffany out of a 6f winner. Stay Safe, a half-sister to three winners, finished fourth in a Dundalk barrier trial last month which should stand her in good stead.
