In depth

Verdict

All will depend on the respective rates of progress made by a number who've shown some promise. The choice is MOONDROP as Dermot Weld clearly feels this is her trip at present, having dropped the daughter of Toronado back to 6f after making her debut over a mile. She did well to claim the minor placing at Fairyhouse after a troublesome passage and hopefully will not encounter such difficulties here. Kingslayer ran a really good race here last time and should appreciate stepping down to 6f, whilst the likes of Danielles Diamond, Camachita, Silver Spear and Gold Factory all showed potential on debut, with the latter making most appeal for Joseph O'Brien.
