Verdict

Following her wide-margin point win, BALLYDONAGH GIRL was a six-figure purchase for her respected connections and she is fancied to make a successful start to her Rules career. Of those with bumper experience, Finnellatimes showed promise at Punchestown last month and could be the main danger, ahead of newcomer Jetson Jane.
