Verdict

Only ¾ of a length separated Group 1 entrants Cape Primrose and JOHANNA WALSH at Thurles last October. The latter was making her racecourse debut and with improvement expected, she's fancied to reverse the form. Feel The Love hails from a family her trainer knows well and could do much better second time up.
