ALONG and Precious Stone are in the same ownership and, though the latter has the better form, it's Aidan O'Brien's superbly-bred filly who gets the vote. The half-sister to Wonder Of Wonders is out of the Oaks runner-up All Too Beautiful, a sister to Galileo and half-sister to Sea The Stars. Her paddock value would increase dramatically with a victory and she's shown signs of ability in her two starts this season. Precious Stone attempted to make all over 1m2f at Down Royal and wasn't caught until the final furlong so this should be her trip. Hayloft also likes to be up with the pace and looks certain to be thereabouts though she was behind Starstruck at Killarney and the latter should benefit from blinkers after disappointing subsequently.
