Verdict

JAMES J BRADDOCK made an encouraging start to her career when beaten only by one who got first run at Navan and can go one better. Il Corsaro offered something to work on at Leopardstown, while Cannes is a newcomer to note having proved very popular at the sales.

  1. JAMES J BRADDOCK
  2. IL CORSARO (IRE)
