After finishing first past the post at Gowran in August, Bobailin was disqualified and has run poorly in her next two starts. LADY LAMBERT showed good pace throughout on her introduction at Naas and stayed on nicely so, with progress guaranteed, she can get off the mark. The Yellow Bus couldn't quite get to Diamond Fields over 6f here last month but ran very well and her earlier form entitles her to the greatest respect. Aidan O'Brien's Even Song cost 170,000 euros and is a half-sister to the St Leger winner Simple Verse so she's an obvious contender while stablemate Spirit Of Time will have come on a bundle for last month's run on the track.
