Verdict
Bella Union was sent to England for two bumpers earlier this year but looked one-paced. Will You Win has now had sixteen starts without winning including over fences last time while THE FOLKES TIARA was beaten a long way into fourth over 3m at Wexford. However, the latter had earlier been beaten a short-head over 2m4f at Killarney and clearly didn't see out the trip last time so should gain her first success since landing a point-to-point in November.
