QUALIFY is out of a mare who has produced winners with her first two foals and she should keep up the family tradition here. She set up a long lead in a Group 3 at Leopardstown last time and was only caught in the closing stages so this should be well within her capabilities. Her stablemate Cocoon was well behind and looks held but Blue Fragrance has been given a break after two runs in testing ground in May. Foolish Ways, who cost 100,000gns, looked very green at Leopardstown and should improve enough to get involved.
