Forecasts

Passion (85/40), One Voice (16/5), Auxilia (7/2), Yaxeni (7/2), Raven's Cry (8/1), Epona Plays (9/1), Silence Please (10/1)

In Group and Listed company the Aidan O'Brien yard have started well and their sole representative in this contest, PASSION can add to her win in a Cork maiden fillies contest over a similar trip in September. The filly can improve enough to halt the progression of the Ger Lyons-trained Auxilia, not beaten far in a Listed fillies contest at the Curragh when last seen in October and potential improver in the shape of the Jessica Harrington-trained Silence Please. Yaxeni and One Voice, also from the yards of Ger Lyons and Jessica Harrington should not be taken lightly.
