ENNISTYMON has undoubtedly been disappointing since her placed efforts in the Ribblesdale and the Oaks at Epsom though her second to stable companion Laburnum in a Listed contest at Gowran just about gives her the edge. Aidan O'Brien also runs Elizabethofaragon and Holy Roman Empress but Seamie Heffernan sticks with the selection. Joseph O'Brien also has a strong hand with the ex-French Mighty Blue, who was raised 10lb after gaining her first victory for the yard in a Curragh handicap, joined by Snapraeceps, who is very consistent in pattern company but only 1-16, and Lady Dahlia, who will need to raise her game. Princess Zoe has really found her feet in recent weeks, beginning a winning run at the Curragh before taking two tough handicaps at the Festival here. She deserves a crack at this grade and should be thereabouts again while Yaxeni has raced exclusively at Group 3 level this season so takes a drop in class.
