Verdict
Tarnawa won this a year ago then followed up in the Group 2 Blandford Stakes at the Curragh. She hasn't been seen since the Champion Fillies at Ascot in October but won first time back last year. After a fine run behind Magical at the Curragh, CAYENNE PEPPER started favourite for the Irish Oaks and though no match for Even So it was a fine run and she can go one better. Passion won her maiden here in September and was only half-a-length behind the selection in the Oaks so is greatly respected while Bolleville made a fine start for Joseph O'Brien in a Leopardstown Listed contest and there looks plenty more to come.
