Alluringly drops in class having finished second to Enable in the Cheshire Oaks in May but has been well beaten in Group races since. Though she’s preferred of the Ballydoyle trio and should go close, MAKING LIGHT gets the vote. Third over a mile in a Listed contest at Leopardstown on her reappearance, this longer trip will suit and Dermot Weld has sent out three of the last four winners of this. Aurora Butterfly finished just ahead of Alluringly but was still well beaten in the Irish Oaks at the Curragh but Glamorous Approach won a Listed race at the latter track the last time she competed over 1m2f. The unbeaten Elegant Pose may prove best of the rest stepping up in class today.
