Verdict

Devotion won her maiden at Leopardstown back in June and will no doubt improve again here, but she has a bit to find with YELLOW ROSEBUD on earlier running at the same track. The latter has subsequently finished runner-up in a Group 2 contest over 7f here behind another Ballydoyle filly in Maybe and that form gives her the beating of Rubina and Princess Sinead, who were both beaten by Maybe in the Moyglare Stakes here last time. Coral Wave made a promising debut when runner-up here beating the favourite Soon in the process and she makes more appeal than Lady Rochford and Lady Wingshot on that showing.
