The five-year-old Baalbec Beauty showed ability on occasions last year but KINGS TIME (NAP) was still showing signs of inexperience when second to Tango Flare at Cork last month. She still finished ahead of Paradise Perfect and can go one better today. Flaming O'Hara appeals as a likely improver while Rachael Blackmore has a rare ride on the Flat on Navalny. Running Cool ran in a Naas Group 3 after finishing third at Gowran while the Ribchester filly Brookie Cookie is a half-sister to three winners so is worth a market check.
