In depth

Verdict

SNOWFALL couldn't quite go the pace on fast ground over an extended 5f at Navan but stayed on nicely and can get off the mark over this trip. Her stable companions High Heels, a sister to two winning milers, and Willow, by American Pharoah out of an Irish Oaks winner and a half-sister to four winners, are greatly respected on their debuts. Aliyza is certain to appreciate this trip and likely easier ground after an eye-catching run over 6f at Fairyhouse. Sister Rosetta is bred for the trip while Aunty Bridy is a half-sister to three winners.
