In depth

Verdict

Spiritual Man hasn't performed badly in a couple of decent maidens and will appreciate this company but Wider World has twice been beaten in this class since scoring at Ballinrobe in June and was behind Vitalized when the latter finished third in a handicap over the track and trip last month. Jim Bolger's filly would have a chance on that form but the vote goes to FOR GOODNESS SAKE. She scored over this trip at Wexford before stumbling when tackling 1m4f at Tramore and virtually pulling up. Love Letter produced a good run when placed at Navan in June but has been well beaten in her two latest starts on soft ground.
