Verdict

Aidan O'Brien runs a pair and jockey bookings suggest Harrison's Cave is preferred to Flavia Tatiana despite a disappointing run here last month when only fourth behind today's rivals CRYSTAL BELLE, Final Recovery and Bendzoldan. The winner was having only her fifth start that day and still showed signs of inexperience so may be capable of confirming the form despite the revised weights. Emperor Of The Sun made a fair debut on the surface when narrowly beaten by Colour Of Love a month ago and should make further progress while Luibin Cufa makes her handicap debut and Jim Bolger has an excellent record in nurseries.
