Verdict
EMBER’S GLOW won one of these classified races over track and trip in December and Mark Loughnane’s charge should be in the mix once again. The Irish filly Cliara will find this easier than recent tasks at Dundalk and can figure while Lyford may also do better in this lower grade. Molliana has done all her winning on the Flat in Jersey while N Over J takes a big step up in trip and Kaisan hasn’t raced since 2017.
