      Verdict

      It's a surprise that SOUL SEARCH (NAP) hasn't won by now after a head defeat by subsequent Moyglare winner Love on her debut at Leopardstown in July. She was only beaten two lengths by Aidan O'Brien's filly in the Curragh Group 1 and this should be her day. The latter's yard run Pistoletto, who hasn't quite done as well as expected in Group company after looking smart in his first two races. Tom Dascombe sends Sir Boris from the UK but he was put in his place when tacking this company at Ripon while Zarzyni has found it tough in Group 3 races since an impressive debut at Gowran. Unforgetable has the advantage of a course and distance victory though was behind the selection at Leopardstown.
