Verdict

West Coast ended her first campaign with an easy maiden victory at Leopardstown but disappointed in a Naas handicap on her return though may have been unsuited by tacky ground. Scott McCullagh has been on board for all of Aurora Princess's five victories and a 4lb rise for her success at Limerick shouldn't prevent another big effort. However, stable companion HA HA HA was impressive in a Leopardstown handicap the same day and looks progressive enough to defy an 8lb rise. Miss Mirabel was having only her third start when a close third in a premier handicap here in May while Eastern Wind led for a long way in a similar race here three weeks ago.
