Verdict

Ubuntu has a rating of 95 after being caught close home in the Group 3 Flame Of Tara at the Curragh in August when Rosscarbery was well beaten. That was on heavy going and she finished last when stepped up a grade in the May Hill at Doncaster. She'll need to be back to her best here to see off FRILL, who cost a massive 900,000gns and is a half-sister to Group 1 winner Garswood. She made a very promising debut at the Curragh in November and has an entry in the Irish Oaks. Parkhill Dawn will improve for her run at the Curragh last month and Racey Lacey for a promising run at Dundalk in November while Jessica Harrington's horses are in good form and The Blue Brilliant is related to eight winners.
