Verdict
BAARS CAUSEWAY has yet to yet to operate on any ground with cut but, if reproducing the best of some taking juvenile form behind the likes of J Wonder, could be another for man-of-the-moment Kieren Fallon. Nora Looby produced a sweet front-running performance to land the spoils on Coiste Bodhar four days ago and the combination should be in the shake-up once again under the obligatory penalty. Skinny Love has her first run for a new yard having been in consistently good form over the winter but may need this return to action and Lady Horatia, not disgraced on her Newmarket reappearance, looks a likelier proposition on her handicap bow.
