Verdict
Friendly has the inside berth and though undoubtedly disappointing last season her best run came when attempting to make all on good ground at Naas so she has plenty in her favour. However, Ahandfulofsummers had the stronger form last term having been narrowly beaten in a Curragh Group 3 and she ran well on her reappearance in what looked a strong Naas maiden won by Empress Josephine from NEW YORK ANGEL. Johnny Murtagh's daughter of Zoffany went past the third in the closing stages and with that under her belt can get off the mark. Albedo is the type to improve while Windsor Pass looked promising at the Curragh in September before failing to fire in heavy ground at Fairyhouse. The newcomer Viennese Voice was engaged at Cork yesterday.
