Verdict

THEEMERALDEMPRESS has plenty to recommend her on paper and, in receipt of weight from all her rivals, is taken to go one better than on her recent outing in points. Dinner Dance is another noteworthy Rules newcomer who commands the utmost respect, while Majestic Horizon found himself less-than-ideally placed on his bumper debut at Wexford and is entitled to do better.
