Verdict
Sweet Magic placed at Kilbeggan in the spring for previous connections but another Irish import, Mellificent, makes more appeal having finished second at Fairyhouse on debut. Bridget Breeze won well when attracting market support at Kelso last month while Somerway’s dam placed in all three starts in bumpers and won later over hurdles and fences. CINDYSOX is another newcomer worth a market check as she cost €48,000 last year and is by top NH sire Kayf Tara. Her dam won a bumper and also a Listed race over timber so she has the right credentials to do well in this sphere.
