Race preview
BOP BOP BOBBIN ran well in a traditionally smart Christmas bumper. Winner of a point-to-point for Harley Dunne before selling to current connections for 95,000 euros, she confirmed her ability when running a solid race, albeit when well held, at Leopardstown, in a race which could work out well. Why Delilah was a 150,000-euro three-year-old purchase, has plenty of Flat speed in her pedigree and should run well on debut under Jamie Codd. Stage Lady handled testing conditions when running well over Christmas, while Whispering Pines showed promise on debut but is long absent. Visible Attraction was well held at Punchestown, while Broomfield Gale has already had a foal, by Zambezi Sun, and represents a Grade 2-winning trainer.
