In depth
Verdict
WILD EYED GIRL has a bit to find on official ratings but ran a couple of good races last summer and at Tipperary last month and has a chance against some exposed types. My Eyes Adore You has disappointed since a fine start at Cork in September while Lopes Gold appears to have gone backwards from two narrow defeats around this time last year. Chicago Lightening's three runs have been at Dundalk but there's no reason she shouldn't act on Turf while Grizabella was keeping on over this trip at Cork. After just one run in a big field of maidens here in March last year, Soilse has more scope than most of these but Un Bacio Ancona could only finish eighth at Cork on Wednesday. Ottey showed pace on her debut at Cork earlier this month and should do better.
