Verdict
Some well-connected fillies are engaged here including the Ballydoyle newcomers Drops, a daughter of Kingmambo out of the brilliant Alexandrova, and Twirl, a half-sister to Irish 1000 Guineas winner Misty For Me. However, the stable's WONDERFUL made a highly satisfactory start to her career when runner-up to stabemate Up at Dundalk and she should go one better. The consistent Rigoletta was five lengths behind that day and the form looks strong. The main threat may arrive in the shape of Eternal Bounty as David Wachman's Galileo filly was staying on very strongly at the finish on her debut at Fairyhouse and will have come on a bundle for the run.
