In depth
Verdict
Kevin Prendergast has good prospects in the opener and should land this via ROSE BONHEUR. The Danehill Dancer filly found only one too good in both starts as a juvenile and was unlucky to come up against subsequent Newmarket second Sing Softly on her reappearance over 6f at the Curragh - she faces nothing of that calibre here. Good Shot Noreen had the disappointing Balmont Mast behind when third at Navan 11 days ago and she looks a better bet than stablemate Kucharova, who probably needs further. Lord Windark looks the pick of Dermot Weld's pair but it's hard to see him making enough progress to trouble the selection on these terms.
