11/2

Useful filly. 9/2, length second of 9 to One Look in listed race at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft) 32 days ago, with reopposing stablemate Mexicali Rose just behind in third. One to consider.

Snellen¹⁰

Weight: 8-13| Age: 3

T: G P Cromwell J: Gary Carroll

Forecasts

Fleur De Chine (3/1), Mundi (4/1), Curvature (5/1), Mexicali Rose (5/1), Princess Child (11/2), Snellen (6/1), Kayhana (17/2), Bomberg (10/1), Cancelled (33/1), Solar Breeze (100/1)

It might be worth chancing MUNDI back from a break with Ryan Moore over for the ride. Mexicali Rose, Princess Child and Curvature are closely matched on last month's Killarney form and should be in the mix again, while the selection's stablemate Bomberg has the potential for plenty of improvement after his debut success.
