Verdict

Front-running tactics were used with Havana Pearl last time but she faded when headed at the furlong pole. Gorgeous Star, who cost 240,000gns at the Breeze-up in April, produced a couple of fair runs on Turf last summer when trained by Roger Varian and has been moved to Ireland. Joseph O'Brien has two entries with MERISI, a daughter of Caravaggio and related to numerous winners, given the nod after a promising debut last week though stable companion Hibernia Oppositus is by Australia out of a Group 3 winner. Ceallach is a half-brother to two winners and is one to note.
