Friendly finished a respectable sixth in the Irish 1000 Guineas and is preferred to Montego Bay of the Ballydoyle duo. The former finished ahead of Thinking Of You, who may prove best of Joseph O’Brien’s four runners, while Create Belief also travels over from Ireland with a shout. The three William Haggas representatives all make their handicap debuts and Belief has come in for support but READY TO VENTURE gets the nod having placed in a conditions' race here before struggling over a longer trip in a Listed contest. Riknnah and stablemate Far Hope are novice winners with a chance while Kestenna and Divine Light both drop down from Listed company. Beheld, Pomelo and Lucid Dreamer share ownership with the latter making most appeal while Glesga Gal beat She Do and Samoot when scoring easily on the all-weather.
