Verdict

Dermot Weld tries Eziyra in a hood after her narrow defeat by Sea Of Grace in a Group 3 over a mile here and a return to this trip could also have the desired effect. GRECIAN LIGHT arrives from the UK after a cracking effort in the Group 2 May Hill at Doncaster where she was in the lead at this trip before caught close home by Rich Legacy. That form should just about see her home though both Dawn Of A New Era, who made her debut in the Group 1 Moyglare, and Nutcracker Suite, who had her first start at Dundalk, are certain to improve for their experiences. Perle De La Mer could hardly have made a more impressive start when storming home in a Galway maiden on soft ground and could be anything.
