In depth

Verdict

After two promising runs, Feathertop was well supported at the Curragh but got outpaced before staying on. She had Golden Ash behind and should confirm the form but Vera's Secret found 6f much too short on that same card having been beaten a neck over this sort of trip at Punchestown. Catwalk Couture was staying on over shorter at Bellewstown while RANDALL POETS LASS looked well at home in testing conditions at Listowel when just failing to catch Water Nymph. Robert Whearty's claim can help see her home though Royal Toast is expected to improve markedly from her debut at Killarney.
