In depth
Verdict
Jenniechild wasn’t beaten far behind the in-form Blastofmagic at Naas 10 days ago and is 5lb better off. Peter Fahey’s mare should get a lot closer today if a high draw doesn’t prove too much of a disadvantage. SWEETEST TABOO was behind the aforementioned pair at Naas but prominent for a long way and better drawn today. She is one of only two course and distance winners in the line-up and looking nicely treated with Peter Kavanagh claiming 10lb. Nora Batt was ahead of the selection when running well at the Curragh last month but then turned in a shocker at Bath.
