Chasing The Dawn made most and was only caught by Fancy Blue in the closing stages over the trip at Naas so looks certain to go well. He easily holds Russian Dream on that run but fourth-placed Siamese is a different matter as she showed good speed throughout and has more scope for improvement. Aidan O'Brien had six to choose from at the early stage and has opted for PEACEFUL, Flower Garland and the newcomer Prose. The former, a full-sister to three winners, caught the eye on her debut over this trip at Leopardstown, staying on late, and will know much more here. Flower Garland had a couple of runs over shorter in the spring while Prose, another daughter of Galileo, is an obvious one to watch for the future.
