This looks wide-open but Ship Of Dreams and Tajaanus are eased in grade, as is QAZYNA (NAP). Roger Varian’s filly was impressive in beating two subsequent winners in a maiden over this trip at Newmarket in April before failing to see out 1m2f in the Pretty Polly. She’s only had three runs and an official rating of 94 looks fair given her potential. Ceilidhs Dream has a very similar profile with her defeat of Sea Of Class at Newmarket looking particularly smart form – she looks a big danger. Dathanna, Desert Diamond and Ganayem are all chasing hat-tricks and much respected with probably more to come but Curragh winner Hence is more exposed than stablemate Broadway. Poetic Charm is making her seasonal reappearance but won two out of three last year and Wisdom Mind has been in good form in Ireland. Others to consider include Di Fede and recent maiden winner Perfection.
