Verdict

Sound Angela has only won on the all-weather but wouldn't be travelling here unless thought capable of acting on the ground. Lyrical Poetry won a course and distance maiden a year ago then competed with distinction in Listed and Group level. She ran well behind the long odds-on With The Moonlight in a Group 2 at Meydan in February. REDRESSED has only had three starts and followed her Navan maiden victory with a fine run behind the smart Insinuendo in a Curragh Group 3 in March. With further progress likely, she looks the one to beat though Madly Truly has a similar profile and will have found 7f too sharp at Leopardstown. Dundalk winner Beginnings is another lightly-raced type likely to show improvement though jockey bookings suggest Dower House is the stable pick.
