Shadow Eile has been a big disappointment since an excellent debut at Punchestown in April and was beaten a long way at Limerick in January. ESPRESSO LADY has shown potential in two heavy ground bumpers and the better going could bring about enough improvement to take this for Jessica Harrington. All of the newcomers have stout jumping pedigrees but the presence of Nina Carberry on Brobury could be a pointer as Patrick Gillespie has three entries. Boston Road is one to note for the future as he's the first foal of a mare from a high-class chasing family.
