      Verdict

      Jessica Harrington's Silence Please made a very good impression when landing a fillies' maiden at Gowran and, with more to come, looks certain to go well though Aidan O'Brien looks to hold the key with ROYAL COUNTY DOWN and Mythologic. The pair fought out a tremendous battle in a similar race at Galway with the former, who will be 2lb worse off, just having the edge and taken to confirm the form. Marchons Ensemble, an easy maiden winner at Bellewstown, was a bit disappointing when tackling a mile at Killarney and should be better suited back over this trip.
