In depth

Verdict

PINK GODDESS has had 15 starts over timber and been placed twice including on Sunday at Sligo. She also ran very well over this C&D in March and won't get a better chance to lose her maiden status. Breeze With Ease was well behind on Sunday and The Gnathologist has been in poor form since scoring at Tramore a month ago and looks to have had enough for now. Tough Mark started favourite for that Tramore contest but was well beaten and has yet to reach a place in 10 career starts including between the flags. Daytime Dreamer hasn't been in bad form on the Flat recently and that should be enough to get him involved in this poor contest.
