Verdict

The superbly-bred Discoveries, a full sister to Alpha Centauri and half-sister to fellow Group 1 winner Alpine Star, made a very pleasing debut at Leopardstown where she was ridden along from halfway and kept on steadily. She'll come on a bundle for the experience but TUESDAY also has an outstanding pedigree and looks the one to beat. A full sister to classic winners Minding and Empress Josephine, she's by Galileo out of the dual Group 1 winner Lillie Langtry. Smile Of Love looks best of Ger Lyons' pair being the second foal of a mare who produced a winner over this trip with her first while Kerkiyra is a half-sister to three winners and hails from a yard in form. Hymn Book Two is a half-sister to the 2,000 Guineas winner Dawn Approach, who was a champion two-year-old.
