Verdict
LETHAL PROMISE made a very promising start over the minimum at the Curragh then just failed to hold Just Wonderful over an extra furlong on a return visit. That looked a strong maiden and she should again have the measure of Fantasy, who finished mid-division and didn't show much improvement at Navan. Inflorescence was also behind the selection in that opening race and though Johnny Murtagh's yard in going well Cruella Dovil will need to step-up on what she's shown so far. Isle Of Shadows has a very speedy pedigree and is one to keep an eye on.
