Verdict

This looks a good bit easier than the big-field handicap SIOG GEAL contested at the Dublin Racing Festival and she's preferred to the thriving Analiese. Tour Ovalie and Rula Bula may prove best of the remainder.

2	Signed off promising novice season with handicap debut success in EBF Mares' Final at Newbury (20.5f, good). Three creditable efforts this season, finishing fifth of 18 in a hot handicap at the Dublin Racing Festival last time.
