In depth
Verdict
GOLDEN LYRIC keeps finding one too good but was only headed close home over Cork's straight 7f last month. She looks certain to be winning soon as does Spilt Passion, who was unlucky not to lose her maiden tag last season and will have found the going too soft on her reappearance at Gowran. Bipartisanship made a bright start over a mile here but didn't improve on that on a return visit while Lyra Belacqua, who is out of a mare who has produced winners with her first four offspring, will need to improve on a moderate debut at Naas. Khlass makes a belated racecourse debut but the 120,000gns daughter of No Nay Never is one to note in the market.
