In depth

Verdict

GIN BLOSSOM was taken out of a winnable maiden at Killarney on Monday when the going changed and can gain compensation. An eye-catcher at the Curragh last August, she found 7f too short on her reappearance at Tipperary and this should be her trip. Koola Buala finished in front of her in that latter event and is open to plenty of improvement while Lilandra has found sprint trips too short in both starts to date despite being bred for speed. Soineanta has been placed in a couple of strong maidens recently so shouldn't be dismissed despite not having won in nine starts.
