In depth
Verdict
Go Placidly started off with a decent effort at the Curragh but hasn't done as well as expected. The testing ground could aid his cause as it could GOLDEN AMBER, who showed the benefit of a fair opening run when a very good third behind Sparrow at the Curragh where she stayed on nicely. She may be good enough to see off Bush Pilot, who returned from a break to finish fourth behind Racing Post Trophy hope Century over a mile at the Curragh and takes a big drop in trip. Muileata is definitely better than her form figures suggest and her latest run should be ignored as she was badly impeded.
