In depth
Verdict
ROMAN GAL was a 25/1 chance on her debut over course and distance last month but stayed on nicely once getting the hang of the job and should have made enough progress to take this. Realtin Geal only beat one one at Limerick but wasn't beaten far despite being eased. Aurora Eclipse is related to three winners and should have plenty of pace as should Blue Uluru, a half-sister to seven winners, most of them sprinters. Just Sherry is one to note in the market from a yard that can get one ready but Lady Boomerang is likely to do better over further.
