This can go to Ireland on the premise that BIBLIOTHECA has not come here in order to get fit. She showed plenty of promise before producing a career best on her last start. The form of that race looks stronger than anything her rivals have contested lately and her yard have had a winner here previously. Brigadoon can run his usual honest race and test the selection whilst Chestnut Storm runs well here and should reach a place in a race lacking depth.
