2.25 WILD BEAUTY; 5.00 SUNSTRIKE (IRE); VALUE THEORY (IRE); 7.50 SHOULDAVBEENMORE (FR); 10.00 ARDBRACCAN (IRE); MAJESTIC GLORY; ROLLING THE DICE (IRE); 11.00 AND BETTER OTHERS.
The ground could be a crucial deciding factor in this competitive affair and the likely favourite Wild Beauty did not seem to be in love with the quick going when second to the very smart Inspiral at Sandown. Both of her wins have come on soft, whereas VALUE THEORY relished this surface when making all to score in tidy fashion over C&D last month. There would look to be plenty more to come from the daughter of Gleneagles. Sunstrike and Shouldavbeenmore complete the shortlist.
