        Verdict

        With Thanks and Hidden Sky represent UK raiders and the former was a close second to Onassis in a Goodwood Listed contest. Silk Forest won a Listed race here last October and her poor recent run at Cork was out of character. Her stable companion Best On Stage justified her step up from handicap company when runner-up in a Listed contest here. SO WONDERFUL (NAP) took 15 races to lose her maiden tag then promptly landed a Killarney Listed contest with A New Dawn 3 lengths behind. She ran a fine race in the Group 1 Matron Stakes at Leopardstown and that should be good enough for this.
