Verdict

Aidan O'Brien has won five of the last eight runnings of this Group 3 and his highly promising Camelot filly BE HAPPY is fancied to extend that sequence on the back of her ready debut Cork victory. Both Clever And Cool and Gozen have better days ahead of them too though and should ensure the selection doesn't have things all her own way.
