Verdict

Moon De Vega won at Doncaster as a two-year-old and ran in Pattern-race company throughout last season. She went for 98,000gns at the sales and has joined Paddy Twomey. Onameridance went up 16lb for landing a Down Royal handicap and was unable to cope on her two subsequent starts while MASHIA was an impressive winner of a Naas handicap earlier this month. The latter is still in the 1000 Guineas at the Curragh so will need to win here to justify the entry. Aurifodina's two recent runs have been on heavy ground but she prefers some cut as she showed when winning two nurseries last summer.
