DAZZLING lived up to her name and billing when storming to a debut victory here at the beginning of the month and there will be some long faces at Ballydoyle if she's can't follow up here despite taking on much better opponents. Beyond Intensity and Circling both showed ability in that race and though they look held neither of their trainers would be coming here without some hope. Avenue Gabriel will prove a good yardstick having followed her battling success on this track from today's rival Ballybacka Queen with placed efforts at Group 3 and 2 level and wasn't too far behind the selection's highly-rated stablemate Tapestry here last time.
