Joseph O'Brien and Ger Lyons are triply-represented here. Sense Of Style has been keeping good company and got no sort of run at Naas so could prove best of the former's trio while Colin Keane is on board Acanella for the Lyons' team and she may just have needed the run at Naas having shown real potential in her first campaign. MEHNAH, a winner at Dundalk in September, just failed to remain unbeaten in the 1,000 Guineas Trial at Leopardstown where she had some smart fillies behind and the daughter of Frankel can get back on the winning trail. Friendly got off the mark at the tenth time of asking at Bellewstown and can start progressing now she's broken her duck and Flirting Bridge is another to consider in an open contest.
