Verdict

Very little to go on here and the market will probably prove the best guide. QUIET THOUGHT began her career in a maiden hurdle at Cork in March where she didn't run badly and her bumper form has been reasonable enough to suggest she could be good enough for this. Kathleen Cox ran well behind Carloswayback on her debut over timber at Limerick earlier this month but was beaten a distance on a return visit 10 days later though the longer trip may have been her downfall. Sanforized showed some ability on the Flat last year when the ground was testing and any support for her is worth noting while Bay Swallow has been in reasonable form this summer and wouldn't need to be a world-beater to make a winning start over timber.
