Verdict

Detailed won four times last season and wasn't beaten far in the Group 2 Park Hill over 1m6f at Doncaster. She'll enjoy the conditions though has a penalty to carry for her Listed victory at Limerick. Her stable companion High Language didn't get the best of runs in a Listed contest at Naas in October and should be capable of better this campaign. Clear Skies had a tremendous winter at Dundalk winning five times but she's yet to prove herself on this sort of ground. Princess Yaiza stepped out of handicaps to run at this level at Dundalk and Naas where she performed with credit but it's JAEGA who looks the interesting one. Dermot Weld's filly is quickly stepped-up in class after an impressive victory on heavy going at Leopardstown a couple of weeks ago and Group 1 entries suggest she's expected to go on to better things.
