Verdict
GIN BLOSSOM made such an impression on her debut at the Curragh that she's difficult to oppose. Joseph O'Brien's grey was finishing so powerfully on the heavy ground that she would have caught Katiba in another few strides and normal progress should see her go one better. The winner's yard is represented by two newcomers with Haparanda, a half-sister to four winners, getting the nod over Magic Chegaga, a daughter of Teofilo out of a winning miler. Lemista didn't run as well as expected at Cork after a promising start at Leopardstown.
