Verdict

NEVERMINDTHERAIN ran well when third in a Group 3 at Leopardstown in July and, with her Cork run best ignored and this step up to 1m likely to suit, she is taken to open her account. Isle of Capri improved when third at Leopardstown last month and rates the main threat if building on that, while the well-bred newcomer Hereafter, a half-sister to smart winners from a quality family, is respected on debut.
