In depth
Verdict
This shouldn't take much winning and Our Nest Egg probably has the strongest form in similar contests though a long absence won't aid her cause and may hand the initiative to AMORE VERDADERO. Gordon Elliott's charge had a run over timber before joining the yard and an outing in a Downpatrick bumper last week will have blown the cobwebs away. Moyode Lady also had a run over timber before a poor effort in a bumper here last month while Muyam Spirit hails from a yard in form though he's been showing nothing at big prices.
