Aidan O'brien has four fascinating candidates in this race and none more so than Promise To Be True who gets the vote of stable jockey Ryan Moore. However, her wide draw isn't ideal and it may be that Rain Goddess proves better value. However, it's INTRICATELY who makes most appeal and provided she's ready to go on her reappearance, she may be able to show the rest a clean pair of heels from her inside draw.
- Intricately
- Rain Goddess
- Promise To Be True
