In depth

Verdict

This was won by a three-year-old last year and the two from that generation represented here look to have something in hand. Musical Rain has been making good progress and beat a big field over 7f at the Curragh on her return before another fine effort when staying on over 1m2f on the same track. She should be even better suited by today's trip though CAMPECHE BAY may be more than a match for her on this occasion. The daughter of Giant's Causeway came home by nine lengths with her head in her chest at Tramore a week ago and David Wachman has no qualms about bringing her out so quickly. Dual winning miler Ceannline takes a hike in trip after looking a little one-paced over 1m1f at Leopardstown but Glitter Baby, who was racing off a mark of 93 a year ago, has dropped to 79 and ran her best race for a long time on her return to action at Cork in April.
