Joseph O'Brien won this with a newcomer last year though she'd already had a barrier trial at the track unlike Illuminazione, who makes a belated racecourse debut. Merida Pulse would have finished much closer at Naas but for missing the break and being denied a clear run while Lecale's Destiny has produced two good runs though looked as though he might need further than this at the Curragh last time. HONEY GIRL's form is in a different league to anything shown by these rivals having finished a close third in a Leopardstown Group 3 before an excellent run in the Group 1 Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot. She'll be at short odds to lose her maiden tag and should have few problems doing so.
