Verdict

Dermot Weld has won this with the top-class Tarnawa for the past two years and will be hoping either Federica Sophia or Amma Grace can complete a stable hat-trick. However, the latter has looked more of a staying type the last twice and may find a couple of these too speedy and the former was beaten a very long way on her reappearance in May. THUNDER KISS is the only course and distance winner in the line-up having won a Group 3 from Silence Please and High Heels in June. She may be good enough for this as she found dropping back to 1m2f at the Curragh against her last time, though wasn't beaten far. The three-year-olds Willow and High Heels represent Ballydoyle with Seamie Heffernan choosing the former. He was on board when she beat La Petite Coco at Naas and that form should be confirmed.
