In depth
Verdict
Fast ground will be a novelty for most of these but not LOVE BRACELET as the daughter of War Front probably ran her best race on the surface on her debut at the Curragh last May. She didn’t really progress after but didn’t stay 7f at Newmarket in the autumn and should do better as a three-year-old. Seamie rides her rather than Naas second Darkest. Allez Allez Allez looked one to follow when second at Naas on debut but was disappointing when behind Darkest on her second start. Colin Keane gets the leg-up on newcomer Lilandra rather than Laralei but she is bred to stay.
