Verdict

CARRY THE FLAG bumped into a smart prospect on debut and on that evidence is above average himself, so should take all the beating second time up. Fellow Ballydoyle representative Sun Goddess may pose the biggest threat on her racecourse bow.

  1. CARRY THE FLAG (IRE)
  2. SUN GODDESS (IRE)
  3. WOODLAWN LILY (IRE)
