Verdict
Aidan O'Brien saddles a pair of newcomers. Osprey is by Galileo out of a mare who won a Group 3 as a two-year-old while Lily Hart is another daughter of Galileo and a half-sister to three winning milers. Several of these have performed in barrier trials including Vina Arana, who came home in first for Henry De Bromhead and Colin Keane has been booked. Starry Dew is another to have impressed in a trial while the Churchill filly Whispersinthewind is related to the smart Mowhawk. Experience may be the key here and GRAND JOB looks the one to beat after running into a very smart one at Punchestown though Gentileschi has shown ability in France including on the all-weather at Deauville.
