Verdict

James McAuley has three entries with May Night coming out top in the ratings. A six-times all-weather winner in the UK, she finished a well beaten last on her debut for the yard at Galway but should be more at home on this surface. Stablemate Big Baby Bull has won six times on Turf but hasn't reached a place in three starts on Polytrack while another from the yard, seven-times course winner Rocky Dreams, has a lot to do at the weights. Brains, a multiple all-weather winner in the UK, is greatly respected though the vote goes to DUMB LOVE. Ger Lyons' three-year-old made her track debut in a similar race last week and showed she handles the surface when runner-up to Chica Power. From an in-form yard, Spirit Of Paradise would have a chance on her mid-summer form on Turf.
