In depth
Verdict
Star Fern, Aguila Loco and Ardkeel Lass are three against the field in a tough race to call for punters and the vote goes to Star Fern. The selection was slightly disappointing last time out but prior to that she had won well in a similar contest she again has conditions to suit and she is taken to score from what looks a good draw. Aquila Loco rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Ballygriffin Kid but that was over six furlongs and the drop back to this distance is not sure to suit. Ardkeel Lass is another worthy of respect on her latest third behind Roman Empire in a better race she is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market. Of the remainder Lake Eyre is another with place claims but is far from consistent and for the winner we return to Star Fern.
