Verdict
LONGING, a one million guineas daughter of Galileo, made her debut at Leopardstown in April and was beaten under a length. The fact that she hasn't run subsequently is a concern but she could do with a victory for the paddocks and this looks a moderate contest. Hope Lake looked in need of the experience on that same track last month and showed some potential while Rickrack looked a likely future winner when placed at Galway and Gowran but didn't run up to that level on her latest start at Killarney. Teo's Music has been tried over a variety of trips without showing any significant form though Kevin Manning picks her over the newcomer Bluebells For Love. Midsomer showed some potential in her first campaign and was having her first start since December at Gowran in June so she may do better.
