Marigold Hotel cost 350,000gns and the half-sister to dual Group 1 winner Simply Perfect is preferred to Wordcraft of the newcomers. La Superba is getting closer but drops back in trip after a second here and ROSSLARE is preferred. The latter made only a modest reappearance over course and distance but a winner has come out of the race and Richard Hughes presence suggests much better is expected today. Noblest is another expected to improve and it would be no surprise if stablemates Althania and Krafty One finish a lot closer with recent pipe-openers under their belts.
