In depth

Verdict

Joseph O'Brien saddles both Tinkerbells Effect and Royal Affair. The former has run well in all three starts and finished in front of her stablemate at Down Royal last time when they were split by AQUELIGA. The latter was making her debut when staying on strongly into third and should have made enough progress to reverse places and land this. For The Trees started favourite on her debut at Dundalk in March but never really looked like winning.
