Trainer Aiden O'Brien can add to his tally of winning two-year-old's in Ireland this term with FINEST. The daughter of The Gurkha has shown a good attitude in a couple of starts at the Curragh and Naas last month going down by no more than 3½L on each occasion. The juvenile can get the better of the Ger Lyons-trained Talcre on debut, with the Joseph O'Brien-trained Pretty Gorgeous and the Jessica Harrington daughter of Havana Gold, Anna Strada worthy of consideration.
