Forecasts

Patrick Joseph (5/2), Highly Approved (3/1), Taylor Velvet (8/1), Lady Godiva (8/1), Downtown Diva (10/1), Lucky Red (10/1), Lady Sandy (12/1), Tagle (12/1), Innamorare (16/1), Slievenabrock (16/1), Tea Roses (20/1), Raise The Tempo (25/1)

Verdict

Downtown Diva likes to get on with things from the front but is in stall 12 so it may be left to Lady Sandy on stable debut to give the Joseph O'Brien-trained HIGHLY APPROVED the toe in to the race he requires. The three-year-old is taken to build on his win over 6f last month and take advantage of any shortcomings at the start from Patrick Joseph who has missed the break in two of his last three starts here.
