PALINODE was highly tried after a very good second to Kissable at Leopardstown. She made a bright return to action when only headed inside the final furlong at Leopardstown and will have come on nicely for the run. Amazing Beauty started a warm order when making her debut over 7f here in December and though she could only manage fourth this longer trip will be ideal for the daughter of Galileo. The trip should also suit Royal Blue Star, a superbly-bred daughter of Dalakhani, who ran very well on both starts in October over trips much too short. She holds Atlantic Swing on her debut run at the Curragh but the latter is another who should do much better this season.
