Verdict

Unless there is something useful amongst the newcomers, which is entirely feasible given that both Caponata and Katiola are superbly-bred fillies, then WONDERFUL looks another for Ballydoyle. Runner-up to her stablemate Up at Dundalk on her debut, she couldn't quite cope with Eternal Bounty at Leopardstown on her only subsequent start but is expected to do much better this season as entries in all of the major fillies' events suggests. Romantic Stroll did nothing wrong on her debut at Limerick in March and should have come on enough to make her presence felt.
