In depth

Verdict

LADY OF LIGHT made a highly encouraging debut behind the odds-on Byzantium at Naas and the third has come out and won subsequently. Sharaasa, who was beaten a short-head in second, had the benefit of an earlier run and isn't certain to confirm the form so Willie McCreery's filly is taken to come out on top this time. She's A Pistol has plenty of pace and has found soft ground against her in all three starts so this surface should suit. Bairns At Bay made her debut here last month and showed enough promise to suggest she'll be winning soon though possibly over further.
