Verdict
Aidan O'Brien has won this twice in the last five years and has three entries. Seamie Heffernan's presence in the saddle suggests EVERLASTING is the stable pick and she showed very good pace for a long way on testing ground at the Curragh. Into The Groove also showed up well for a long way at Cork while stablemate Out For A Stroll, a daughter of Churchill, is a newcomer to note. Settlement was caught on the line over this trip at Cork and was staying on when dropped to 7f in a Curragh Group 3 so has to be a threat along with the Ballydoyle newcomers Iseult Of Ireland, the first foal of a mare from the family of the brilliant Found, and Rubies Are Red, a full sister to the latter and seven other winners.
