The last three winners have been trained in the UK but Brian Meehan's Blue Bayou, a Group 3 winner at Newmarket, and Richard Hannon's Deauville winner Great Page, face difficult tasks against potentially very useful rivals. Ballydoyle had stablemates Minding and Alice Springs behind when landing the Group 2 Debutante over the track and trip and almost certainly has more in the tank. She'll make a bold bid but TANAZA has had both of the latter pair in second place when completing a double at Leopardstown and, as she's less exposed, can remain unbeaten. Now Or Never easily beat subsequent winner Simannka at Galway before finding Herald The Dawn too strong in the Group 2 Futurity and back among the fillies is expected to get into contention.
