Verdict
Dancila has been kept in training despite not having run since September 2020. Hallowed Star completed a double over timber last summer but may find this on the short side while Needle Lace performed in moderate company on the all-weather in the UK and might do better at Dundalk. Rick Dalton never got close when placed at the Curragh in September but this won't take much winning and he's likely to do better this campaign. SULTANOV SWING is a daughter of American Pharoah out of a Galileo mare. Her stable is amongst the winners and she's taken to make a belated winning debut.
