In depth
Verdict
AYELYA has caught the eye in handicaps at Roscommon and Thurles this autumn and can take advantage of the 7lb she receives from the returning Money Maid, not seen since seconds at Southwell and Market Rasen last December. Pretty Rose has flopped at Hereford since her second here in October but does hold Diamond Lucy on the formbook and is also preferred to Lyme Park and Tullow Tonic.
