Verdict

A low-grade nursery with few arriving in form and the market may prove a good guide. Shanghai Dragon ran easily her best race to date when staying on over the extended 5f track at Navan. PURPLE GOWN made her nursery debut on the latter track on Saturday and was also going on at the finish so further progress should see her in the firing-line. Princess Rajj ran much better in a Sligo nursery that has worked out well last month while Mumayaz continues to make progress and found a mile just too far at Killarney. Sam Ewing's claim is a major plus for Wee Winnie, who will find this trip much more to her liking.
