In depth

Verdict

Aidan O'Brien, who won this a year ago, has three entries with only Mona Lisa's Smile having experience. She showed a bit more promise at Dundalk last time but is likely to need much more here. Afar is a full-sister to two useful winners but it's Carefully who really catches the eye as she's the first foal of the Irish 1000 Guineas winner Marvellous. Artistic Legacy is another newcomer to note as she's related to winners but MY LAUREATE made a very encouraging start behind Cava at Fairyhouse and looks the one to beat. The winner is trained by Joseph O'Brien, whose Elleanthus is one to keep an eye on while Frosty Beach and Hummingbird have shown enough to merit respect.
