Aidan O'Brien is intent on winning this with three entries and with Joseph on board Devotion she'll probably come out on top of the trio. However, she's disappointed since her fine run behind Yellow Rosebud in the 1000 Guineas Trial and needs to get her form back. Shebella has been highly tried since her maiden success in March and might prefer better ground while it's no surprise to see Aaraas back over this trip after she failed to stay 1m4f last time. Alla Speranza is lightly-raced and capable of further progress while Twirl has also been racing over further and reverts to the sort of trip that saw her finish runner-up to The Fugue in the Musidora. Twirl was behind CHRYSANTHEMUM at the Curragh in March however and, though David Wachman's filly was disappointing behind Tannery here last time and has it to do against the runner-up Soon, she's much better than she showed that day and can get back to winning ways.
