Verdict

This is a nice prize and has attracted a very competitive field. Skyace looked a nice prospect when easily landing minor races at Tipperary and Gowran but was put in her place by Jon Snow at Killarney. MRS MILNER is handed the vote as she was returning from a break when landing a similar race at Galway where she stayed on strongly over that extended 2m. She had Rescue Package a dozen lengths behind though the latter may be better suited by the extra. Buttons And Bows was even further behind but ran much better here next time behind Ardamir when Morga stayed on strongly to finish second and the favourite Imperial Choice never got into the race. The stewards inquired into the running of the latter and there's no doubt she can do better.
