In depth

Verdict

Artytype made his debut in a very strong maiden at the Curragh and was by no means disgraced. Rocknrollbaby missed the break at Tipperary but stayed on nicely without being given a hard time and was only beaten just over three lengths. Dilly Daydream was well beaten on soft ground over a mile at Cork and should do better over the shorter trip while Roc Of Gold showed the benefit of her opening run when just failing to hold on after attempting to make all at Down Royal. SOMEBODYTOLDME ran well in huge fields at the Curragh in her first two starts before just failing to peg back Know over 6f at Navan. The extra furlong is in her favour and she can get off the mark.
