Verdict
Messidor was attempting to concede Fly Girl 8lb when finishing strongly behind Jessica Harrington's filly at Leopardstown and normal progress will see her difficult to beat. The winner's yard is represented by FEELING TIP TOP, who was impeded at a crucial stage on his debut at the Curragh before staying on nicely. He's handed the vote though A Case Of You led for a long way over a mile on testing ground at Bellewstown and is certain to be suited by the shorter trip. Tosto gets plenty of allowances while Cornish Rock will be better for her run on very testing ground at Roscommon.
