In depth
Verdict
TOY, a full-sister to four group 1 winners, had no answer to Perfect Thunder on her reappearance at the Curragh but both look smart fillies bound for better things and she can go one better. Culcor was a real eye-catcher at the same fixture, staying on nicely once getting the hang of the job, while Esculenta showed very good pace behind the selection's long odds-on stable companion Tuesday over a mile at Naas and won't be inconvenienced by the drop in trip. Dabana and Theogony showed potential last season while Relevant Range is related to a Grade 1 winner in the USA.
