In depth

Verdict

Riynaaz, a daughter of Cape Cross out of a Listed winner, is related to a couple of nice types and looks a potentially useful sort but all form here points to a first victory for PHRASE. Dermot Weld's daughter of Royal Anthem has performed with credit on both starts which were on ground faster than she may have enjoyed and today's track and going should suit. Tupelo Honey travelled nicely until the pressure was applied when only eighth behind Ezali in a big field here last time but can progress from that and looks a threat. Fedora has gone backwards on her last two starts after a fine run behind Truth Seeking at Leopardstown in August.
