    In depth

    Verdict

    ASKING has numerous big-race entries and will need to win this emphatically to justify them. She showed her potential in her final start last season and had little difficulty beating the luckless Sir Danilo on her reappearance here last month. She faces a decent performer here in Glastonbury Song, who started odds-on when making a successful debut here in September and ran well for a long way in a Listed contest at Leopardstown earlier this month. Branch Line is another who made a winning start when landing a Roscommon maiden and was by no means disgraced when stepped into Listed company at Tipperary but Baffin Bay showed nothing in two starts on this track late last year.
