As in the opener, Aidan O'Brien sends a couple into battle with jockey bookings indicating that last month's Leopardstown scorer, Opera Singer, is stable preferred. He obliged comfortably enough that day and should be competitive. Stablemate Grateful, a daughter of Galileo, also needs keeping on the right side on debut, whilst another newcomer who could have a say is Red Viburnum, a son of Frankel for Dermot Weld. Profit Refused probably needs to step up a notch but Serious Notions only went down by the minimum margin on debut at Leopardstown and rates a leading player granted normal progression. However, A LILAC ROLLA overcame a slow start to score with real authority on her Cork debut and, upped in trip, is taken to continue the excellent form of the Paddy Twomey yard.
