In depth

Verdict

Glamorous has been in good form over hurdles and found the ground too quick when a long way behind Midnight Soprano over the C&D last month. Sweet Solitude hasn't done much since arriving from France, however, while Lucciola takes a big leap in trip having never raced beyond a mile. LIVIA GALILEI is going the right way and is ready to strike judged on her fine run behind Montebell over this trip at Cork where the going was on the soft side, though she faces a very useful opponent in Rising Wind and Kevin Prendergast's filly, who has been running in much better company, looks certain to go close despite her huge weight.
