Verdict
ADARENNA was having her first start since winning over 2m here in November when tailed of in a Grade 3 at Limerick in March. If that has blown away the cobwebs, Shark Hanlon’s mare should be good enough to beat her three rivals as Nancy's Trix never figured in a modest handicap at Exeter last month despite attracting market interest. Barton Rose has gone right off the boil since winning at Leicester in February and it’s hard to fancy Rakaia Rosa on what she’s shown so far.
