STATUETTE, closely related to a Group 1 winning two-year-old, made a very impressive debut at Navan and looks the one to beat. A line through the runner-up gives her the beating of course and distance winner Zarinsk but Papilio beat a subsequent winner here last month. Matilda Picotte beat Comhra here early last month then pulled much too hard in a Naas Group 3 so could prove best of the remainder.
