Race preview
ESPOUSE won in the manner of a useful prospect at Naas last month and can add this open looking race. By Elusive Pimpernel, Espouse's unraced dam is a half-sister to two Group winners and Espouse herself showed promise when winning at Naas. The ground was soft, which is a concern today, but she had to be switched to challenge and eventually comfortably beat today's rival Frill, who boosted the form by winning next time. Eylara, tried in first-time cheek-pieces, showed good promise as a juvenile and while outclassed in a Group 3 in March, was a little disappointing in a Naas handicap latest. Let's is a consistent type but might bump into a few too strong while Allagar was another useful juvenile but has disappointed on two starts this year. Neptune Rock won an ordinary Leopardstown maiden recently and while this is a step up in grade, can progress.
