After her narrow success over today's rival Experience at Tipperary, Somasach couldn't go the pace in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot and the extra furlong will help. The runner-up showed the benefit of that opening effort with a comfortable success over today's trip at Navan and can take her revenge. Naseem Sea has run well in better company after her victory at Dundalk while Aaraas came with a late burst to catch Perfect Godess at Navan and will improve again. Kevin Ryan does well on his raids to Ireland and DAM BEAUTIFUL can continue that success as she was a very impressive winner at Warwick despite not being fancied and looks certain to go on to better things.
