Verdict

A massive field of maidens hardly looks the best of getting-out stakes. Ansgar and Ansaab have both had breaks since they were beaten favourites earlier in the year with preference here just for the latter, who looks to have the most scope of the pair. Eva's Time is another returning from a long break and she was last seen in March when a close third at Leopardstown. Smithfield has had enough chances as has Harrison's Cave and the latter's connections could take this with the newcomer GUESSING, a filly by Kingmambo out of the Oaks and Irish 1000 Guineas winner Imagine and a half-sister to Horatio Nelson amongst other winners.
