In depth
Verdict
Breezy Bell scored over the course and distance in December and has been racing over further from her revised mark. TWO SHOE TOM went up 6lb for her victory at Down Royal but went very close to defying the extra at Leopardstown when caught close home. She's up 1lb but her rider can claim an extra 3lb so she looks well in. Mare Quimby had been going well before a poor run at Leopardstown in December but Getaway Queen wins her share at this sort of level. Dazzling Dove has yet to win and her improved run at Clonmel came on heavy ground
