Verdict
This will take some getting in the conditions but Astar handled soft ground at Gowran and has a stamina-packed pedigree. BOOGIE WOOGIE followed a moderate debut at Dundalk with a much-improved run on ground with some give at Leopardstown where she stayed on strongly. She looks the one to beat with normal progress though La Tulipe Noire was staying on over 7f at Down Royal last month. Jim Bolger's horses have been in good form and Fanaigi Linn is bred for stamina.
