Verdict

HAZEL started favourite for what looked a strong maiden at Naas a couple of weeks ago but was caught on the line after leading 1f out. She can gain compensation though Nimbostratus also made a very encouraging debut on the same track earlier and will have come on a bundle for the run. The remainder with experience haven't shown enough so Johnny Murtagh's Winter Oasis, who is related to several decent winners, may prove the main threat.
