In depth

Verdict

A tricky mares' maiden with many having shown promise. Open To The World ran on strongly when runner-up over 2m3f at Limerick so the longer trip is in her favour while Fintara is lightly raced and another certain to be suited by this sort of trip. Khalessi has had plenty of chances though has to be considered after a good run in a huge field at Cork while Alan Fleming's Cerealice showed promise in France though on testing ground. Blazes Peg is another yet prove herself on this sort of going but UNE LAVANDIERE was going on strongly at the finish over 2m4f at Wexford on similar ground to this so gets the nod.
