Verdict

A small but select field with only Sizing Malbay seemingly out of it. Feeling The Love has won two handicaps and a novices' event on good ground and her yard is in top form while Make My Heart Fly completed a Perth handicap double when slamming her rivals over 3m. Willie Mullins has won two of the last three and PAKORA can continue the sequence as she looked potentially high-class when landing a Listed contest at Galway. She can follow in the footsteps of some of the stable's top mares of recent years and take this before going on to better things. Pearl Of The West disappointed in a Perth handicap after scoring over this track and trip last month and can do better.
