Verdict

Aidan O'Brien has won this for the past three years and saddles four. TUESDAY is probably the stable pick after her excellent placed effort in the fillies' classic at Newmarket on just her third start and she gets the nod. Stable companion History had Agartha close behind in a Leopardstown Group 3 and looks a rapidly-improving filly though the latter couldn't quite hold Homeless Songs in the trial for this on the latter track when the fast-finishing Villanova Queen caught the eye. Anything William Haggas runs at present is worth a look and he's acquired Purplepay from France, though her form is on very testing ground.
