In depth

Verdict

Eagle Nebula has been running well in selling company of late but this is tougher and Broughtons Paradis looks to have stronger claims. She's still looking to add to last year's three wins, but has beaten both Kames Park and Maslak recently and the latter has since scored over C&D. However, a chance is taken on former Ballydoyle inmate SCRIBE. He cut little ice on his debut for David Evans at Wolverhampton in December, but has been given another rest and last May's fourth at Leopardstown is better form than any of today's opposition have registered so far.
