Race preview
BRONZE AGE improved for the drop back in trip when runner-up on her latest start at Limerick a fortnight ago and she appeals as one to take advantage of what doesn't look the strongest of maidens. Optional Necessity looked a non-stayer over a mile at Gowran last time but can improve dropping back to 6f, while newcomer Bracebridge Hall is also respected.
