In depth

Verdict

Joseph O'Brien saddles two here. ROYAL AFFAIR showed plenty of speed over 6f at the Curragh last week and with that under her belt may do better than the more exposed Tinkerbells Effect, though she was beaten less than 2l when fourth at Cork. Kocasandra has run in good company including Listed class at the Curragh last time so this should be more to her liking but Lisard Zara will need to improve for her two runs at Dundalk. Isabeau is likely to need a bit further and is wearing blinkers for her debut.
