Verdict
Azallya was having her first start at the trip in the Cesarewitch here and didn't appear to last home. The globe-trotting Baron Samedi began the season with runs in Saudi and Dubai where fast ground was against him but had no answer to Kyprios in a Listed race at Navan in April and hasn't run subsequently. Beamish made a winning debut at Leopardstown last year and completed a hat-trick on testing ground at Roscommon. Narrowly beaten in a Group 3 on the former track over 1m4f last month he tackles this trip for the first time. EMILY DICKINSON has only won once in ten starts and that was over 1m2f. She's yet to prove she stays this far but four of her last five starts have been at Group 1 level where she's performed with credit and takes a big drop in class. Lismore, a close third in the Doncaster Cup, is another to consider.
