WONDERFUL TONIGHT wouldn’t want the ground much faster but she’s a dual winner at the highest level and a cut above these having won the Hardwicke Stakes at Ascot on her seasonal debut. Albaflora has plenty to find with the likely favourite though beat Tribal Craft at Ascot in May but Believe In Love may prove a bigger threat having plundered a Group 3 contest over today’s trip Leopardstown last time. Divinely found stablemate Snowfall too good in the Irish Oaks but the Ballydoyle filly can make her presence felt in this while Golden Pass upped her game to win a Listed race at Newmarket a fortnight ago.
