Verdict
Ar Eagla Na Heagla has run twice here and been placed both times, the latest over 2m4f and she's likely to be better over that trip and beyond. This isn't the strongest of maidens and she'll be thereabouts though SO LONELY, four times runner-up in bumpers, might just have too much pace for her at this stage. Cock A Doodle Doo, who hadn't shown much until a much better effort at Limerick, can snatch a place but Filly Mullins looks as though she'll need further and this is a tight track.
