Verdict

ACTRESS didn't attract much support on her debut in what looked a strong Navan maiden but ran very well and should go one better. Her stable companion Could It Be Love started favourite on the same track a week earlier but never got into contention. The remainder with experience have shown little but Ger Lyons' newcomer Brian's Bride is a sister to a winning two-year-old and half-sister to several others so has to be respected. Goodthingstaketime looks well named as she's likely to need further.
