Verdict
Royal Dornoch looked very green at the Curragh last month and never looked likely to get involved but will have come on a bundle for the experience and this doesn't look the strongest of maidens. Total Euphoria finished last of six over an extended 7f at Bellewstown but only weakened in the closing stages so should do better over this trip. His stable companion Calidus Mirabilis showed a bit more dash at Limerick but may need further though the vote goes to NOPE. Jessica Harrington's filly attracted little support at Naas and didn't get going until the race was over but she then stayed on nicely and should have come on enough to take this. Diamond Power and Lady Timmy Ho are both bred for speed and the market should provide some clues to their chances.
