Previous results

In depth

Verdict

Aidan O'Brien has won three of the last four and relies on Infanta Branca, who made all on ground with some give over the C&D last month. She was earlier just over two lengths behind LIBERATING at Cork and Jessica Harrington's filly, who was well touted before the race, looks the one to beat. Cay Verde followed a promising debut in a strong Newbury maiden by scoring comfortably at Ascot and looks a big threat while Verbal Honesty appeared to get bogged down in the heavy ground at Tipperary after her victory at Dundalk.
