      Verdict

      Alshahbaa is well ahead of her rivals on official ratings and shouldn't be too disadvantaged by her long absence as she scored on her debut last year. She competed at Group level subsequently but was well beaten on her last two starts and has questions to answer meeting fast ground for the first time. The conditions certainly won't bother ANAVERNA, who accounted for Snap Alam on quick ground at Wexford last time and with fitness on her side she gets the vote though prospective punters may wish to see how the latter gets on in the opener. Qeethaara's only success came on polytrack and she ended the last campaign out of form while Estephe has run her best races at Leopardstown and Lady Excel is moderate.
