In depth
Verdict
STEIP AMACH (NAP) looks to have a good chance of opening her account. Not disgraced in either start in Listed company at the Curragh, Jim Bolger's filly can make the most of this drop in class. Stablemates Papagayo and Avenante look likely to improve, along with Moving On Up, while jockey bookings suggest Alguazil is preferred to Give Battle of the newcomers. Absorbing has shown little to date but Dragon Gate showed some promise on his earlier debut.
