Verdict
Willowing looks best of the older horses after just failing to catch Empress Toorah at Roscommon, with Truly Delightful well beaten, though the three-year-olds look to have the advantage. The assessor had a very difficult task in rating NEWTON'S NIGHT after her comprehensive maiden success at Naas but a mark of 80 looks about right and with further progress likely she's given the nod. Duchess Andorra tackles this trip for the first time but she's been staying on over a mile so should be suited. She's wearing a first-time visor while Hannah's Magic, who has been consistent enough without finding a finishing burst, is fitted with blinkers for the first time.
