The Prix Marcel Boussac winner FOUND suffered a surprise defeat in a Group 3 here on her reappearance where she got leg-weary in the very testing ground. That will have brought her on considerably and she'll be difficult to beat. Her stablemate Kissed By Angels demolished a Group 3 field on testing ground at Leopardstown on just her second start so she's entitled to the greatest respect but Bocca Baciata and Pleascach will need major improvement after fighting out the finish of a Navan Listed race last month though the latter has since won a Group 3 at Naas in spectacular style. Raydara ended her first campaign with a victory in the Group 2 Debutante here in August while the consistent Malabar ran very well behind Legatissimo in the Newmarket version of this though she was behind Found at Longchamp in October.
