      Verdict

      Three-year-olds usually have the edge in this so Magic Chegaga may struggle despite landing a Galway premier handicap last month. SEISAI has been competing at a very high level since landing a Gowran maiden last June and has a Listed victory to her credit. Her recent second to Lily Pond in a Grade 2 here was her best run of the season and she'll take some beating on that form. The winner's yard is represented by Lullaby, who hasn't shown enough to merit consideration, but Juncture ran an excellent race in the Group 3 Desmond Stakes at Leopardstown when narrowly beaten by Boundless Ocean and looks a major threat. Viareggio's recent form in Listed company doesn't quite stack up against that of her main rivals.
