In depth

Verdict

SKYACE had Glens Of Antrim and Roseys Hollow behind when fourth in the Dawn Run at Cheltenham with Gauloise and Hook Up also trailing. She's taken to confirm the form though Roseys Hollow had looked better when beating several of these in a Grade 3 here in February and might not have been suited by Cheltenham. Rhythm Divine won a handicap over the track and trip in February while Atlantic Fairy followed a very easy maiden success by landing a Listed contest at Navan though she could probably do with some rain.
