Gleneagles filly looks to have been brought along steadily, shaping well under a patient ride when sixth of 12 in maiden (12/1) at Tipperary (5f, good to firm) 114 days ago. Hood goes on for her handicap debut and she's open to improvement. Interesting.

18:45 Dundalk - 24 October 2025 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

An intriguing nursery in which GLEN AND TONIC is fancied to build on previous promise and take a sizeable step forward now going handicapping to get off the mark. Love Bomb and Final Melody fought out a good finish at Down Royal recently and can both have a say, while The Love Machine and Rose Frith need factoring in too.
