There are four Ballydoyle entries here and Ryan Moore looks to have chosen the obvious one in Ark, who made a promising return behind a stable companion at Naas before fading when attempting to make all at Leopardstown. Another from the yard, Kiss You Later, was only just behind in that latter event and it wouldn't be a shock to see the newcomer Engagement Ring eclipse her stablemates as she's a full sister to Capri and five other winners. Selador ran very well in a Dundalk maiden last month though the form has yet to work out so the vote goes to FENNELA. By Sea The Stars, she's a half-sister to three Group 1 winners, including Lord Shankill, and she'll know much more than she did on her debut at Naas.
