Race preview
SIGNORA looked like she would improve from her seasonal debut at the Curragh last month and should be hard to beat. The Frankel filly appeared to have things sewn up when kicking clear a furlong and a half from home, but was collared late on by Pollenca. She was easy to back and should strip fitter now. Andy Slattery, trainer of Pollenca, is represented here by Expert Dancer. The Expert Eye filly shaped nicely on two runs last season and could be a danger. Star Of Beauty is fitted with a visor after finishing sixth on her return at Dundalk and may get into the money.
