Verdict

BELLESQUE continued her race-by-race progression when third in listed company at Gowran last time, despite not being seen to best effect, and she can provide her yard with back-to-back wins in this contest. There could be better to come from Samnina upped to 1m and she isn't taken lightly, with So Lovely the pick of Aidan O'Brien's trio.

  1. BELLESQUE (IRE)
  2. SAMNINA (IRE)
  3. SO LOVELY (USA)
