Verdict
Placed at the Curragh and Cork in the summer, the four-year-old SIMPLY A BREEZE has faced stiff tasks the last twice and will appreciate a return to maiden company. Smile At Me is a full sister to Listed winner Curly so is worth a market check. Salsa has twice finished second at the Curragh, including over this trip last time, and Pirate Lass also has plenty of placed form. Koola Buala was a hot favourite at Tipperary last month but only finished fifth and hasn’t really reproduced the form of her fourth at Leopardstown in July. Nawafeth has had just the two runs and shown promise in both so could be some value if she handles this easier surface.
