In depth
Verdict
Conversely comes out best of the more exposed types on these terms and should have the measure of Comhghairdeas, Ice Canyon and Shinko Princess. But the former finished behind Voge when the latter was second at Naas recently and Ed Lynam’s filly also has the beating of Peace Officer Littlevix will likely improve but hasn’t raced since her debut back in April while Hark finished behind AT YOUR SERVICE when the latter went close at Fairyhouse. Willie Browne’s Frankel colt makes most appeal on that form and gets the nod.
