In depth
Verdict
Water Nymph is proving hard to win with and was beaten 12 lengths when third here last time. Emotivo has shown enough to suggest she'll prove competitive in what looks a relatively ordinary fillies maiden and Dumb Love has also shown ability. Dermot Weld had a good Galway festival with three winners and all runners performing with credit, of which the unraced KATOLA was meant to be one. However, the daughter of Awtaad, a half-sister to three winners, was taken out on the day of her race and has been re-routed here to contest what looks a potentially easier option.
