Aidan O’Brien has won the last three renewals and is mob-handed this year. He is responsible for four of the 10 entries but the four-year-old Like A Star and Pavlenko are maidens and Butterflies has only won one of her eight starts. Key To My Heart made a winning reappearance at Dundalk and finished ahead of Butterflies and Flying Fairies in this grade at the Curragh but was still beaten four lengths. GLAMOROUS APPROACH won a Listed race at the Curragh on her latest start with plenty in hand and deserves a crack at this level. She’s just preferred to Sea Swift, runner-up to Somehow at Gowran in April, and the unexposed Bengala who holds a couple of these on the form book.
