Verdict
SIMPLY A BREEZE has run in Group 3 company the last twice with a close fourth behind Thundering Nights at the Curragh easily the best form on view. Astadash has been consistent and should be suited by dropping back to this trip. The superbly-bred Salsa was elevated to Group 3 company after a narrow defeat by Snow at the Curragh but appears to have gone backwards though quicker ground would aid her cause. Secret Pulse was always in the front rank when just failing to catch Assurance at Cork though this looks tougher but Unknown Pleasures had some smart juvenile form and will be better for her run behind Ennistymon at Leopardstown June.
