Verdict

Settle For Red had just a head to spare over House Limit at Naas and the latter could reverse the form as he probably hit the front too soon. FLOWING AIR is still a maiden after 20 starts but is running well at present and has been touched off right on the line in two of her last three. She's still on a fair mark and the experienced Robbie Downey can see her home this time. My Twinkle has been racing over further and should be suited by dropping in trip while the unexposed Mainicin was last seen in the 1000 Guineas at the Curragh where she was a 200/1 chance and finished behind her stablemate Pleascach.
