Verdict
A 26-runner maiden in which Aidan O'Brien has four entered isn't the easiest start for punters but FEATHERY looked a certain future winner when just run out of it by Three Jacks over 1m1f on heavy ground at Tipperary last Sunday and looks the safest option. Aneen made a very encouraging start in a big field at Leopardstown and will have come on a bundle for the experience while Dermot Weld's newcomer Tempera is a half-sister to a couple of winners and one to keep an eye on. Old Time Waltz started favourite on her debut at Dundalk but didn't get going until too late. She could prove the best of the Ballydoyle quartet, though it would be no surprise if any of them were successful.
