In depth

Verdict

Carrigmoorna Elm attracted support at Ballinrobe and was up with the pace for most of the way but appeared to find heavy going against her. Shesdoenwell was beaten 22 lengths into fourth at Limerick but should have come on for the experience but this can go to a newcomer. Rigmarole is a half-sister to three winners though is bred to be a staying chaser so the vote goes to BROG BAN ESPANA, the first foal of a mare from the family of several winners on the level who should have more pace than these.
