Aidan O’Brien runs three with ASKING preferred to Pennsylvania and the newcomer Music Box. The former ran well behind the useful Tempera in a hot maiden at Leopardstown in October and can make a winning return. Godolphin’s Holiday Girl also showed ability when placed at Leopardstown last year but has no fancy entries yet while newcomer and Irish Oaks entry, Panstarr, also sports the Godolphin colours for a different trainer. The more-exposed Sir Danilo has the more recent form when second over track and trip with Memorial Rose a well-beaten third.
