Verdict

Treasure Beach won the first running of this a year ago so Aidan O'Brien will be hoping that WROTE can emulate him and the fact that he has numerous Group entries suggest that could be the case despite a laboured success at Cork a week ago. Blue Mimosa has only run on ground with plenty of give but there's no reason to suggest quicker conditions won't be in her favour and she gets in on a fair mark. The front-running Greek Canyon has been raised 7lb for beating Jimtown at Gowran but should still be in the mix and holds Crimson Sunrise on an earlier run at the Curragh. Tiffilia has plenty more to offer and doesn't look badly treated for her handicap debut.
