Verdict

BOWGATE STREET has bounced back to form on her last 2 starts, left with too much to do reverted to more patient tactics when fifth at Thurles 8 days ago, so she could be ready to make it back-to-back wins in this race. Heading the list of dangers is Jaadil, who is respected now that she's up and running, with Romella completing the shortlist.
