In depth
Verdict
SISTER ROSETTA would have made a successful debut over the course and distance in another stride and can go one better. Snowfall, who started odds-on that day after a promising start behind Frenetic at Navan, got no sort of run and a line can be drawn through the performance. Emaniya is by Sea The Stars and her stable has struck top form while jockey bookings suggest the 350,000gns Loch Lein, who is related to a host of winners, should prove better at this stage than stable companion Fermoy, though the latter has an ideal pedigree for the trip. April Showers, owned by Coolmore, is a full sister to Group 1 winners Misty For Me and Ballydoyle so is definitely one to keep an eye on.
