In depth

Verdict

Lady Holly has come up against decent opposition in her two starts and will be expected to go well while Bobskier showed good pace for a long way behind Cat Fire at Fairyhouse and will have come on for the experience. Dermot Weld won this last year with Moving Heart so any support for his Exceed And Excel filly Nuba should be noted but this may go to WEBCAST. Jim Bolger's Verglas filly is a half-sister to two winning juveniles and out of a mare who won over 7f as a two-year-old. Johnny Murtagh's presence on board Eoin Griffin's Light Footseps is an eye-catching booking while Obligada is another to note in a race that should provide pointers for the future.
