In depth

Verdict

Butterflyvespiere was well supported and wasn't beaten far in a maiden at Navan but then ran poorly in a Kilbeggan bumper. Winning point-to-pointer MOONLIT WINGS made her hurdling debut in a Leopardstown Grade 2 where not surprisingly she was well beaten. Stepped up to this trip on a return visit in a maiden she showed enough to suggest a poor race such as this would be within her capabilities. Diaspora and Wat Ua Doin may prove best of the remainder.
