Verdict
YAXENI is very versatile having won in Listed company from 1m4f to two miles. She's also happy on any ground and can go in again despite being penalised. Sidiriya stepped up to this trip in style at Galway and there's plenty more to come but Seisai has never been further than 1m2f so has stamina to prove. Term Of Endearment will be suited by the longer trip after staying on in a Gowran Group 3 but One For Bobby has never been this far. Moracana deserves her place in the line-up having landed the lucrative Petingo handicap over 1m5f at Leopardstown.
