In depth

Verdict

This is a big drop in class for Henry De Bromhead’s mare GIN ON LIME and she will be a short price to give weight to inferior rivals. Say Goodbye has scope, however, having made an impressive winning debut over the larger obstacles at Killarney. Rapid Response has run 17 times over fences and won twice but faces a stiff task at the weights and it’s even harder to make a case for stablemates That's Lifebuoy and Presenting Bonnie.
