In depth

Verdict

Mooneista beat older horses in a Listed contest over 5f here last month but faces some potentially smart sprinters from her own age group. She was behind A CASE OF YOU at Dundalk earlier and the winner can't have been right when last behind Poetic Flare over 7f at Leopardstown though wasn't suited by stepping up in trip. Laws Of Indices was a good fifth that day with Magnanimous close behind but Ado McGuinness' charge gets a chance to prove that run all wrong. Pale Iris is progressing well though faces a stiffer test. Lipizzaner is already a Listed winner but didn't impress on his comeback at Navan.Powe while Under Me won here in October but didn't really impress on a return visit in March.
