Verdict

GINO BELLA signalled she is ready to gain a breakthrough success when a good third in a big-field Clonmel handicap last time so gets the nod off the same mark here. Footstepstoglory heads the list of dangers back in this sphere with better to come, while Getaway Henry and Theanniversary Man also need factoring into this very open handicap.
