In depth

Verdict

ACTIVE APPROACH has been very unfortunate to come up against subsequent winners Kalaxana and Lucius Tiberius in her two latest starts and should be up to losing her maiden tag here. Queen Iseult is fitted with headgear after beaten at odds-on at Roscommon and her overall form doesn't match that of the selection. Echo Park can certainly have hopes after a superb run behind Kalaxana at Gowran, form that ties in closely with Jim Bolger's fillies' run behind that winner. The remainder with experience have plenty to find so Joseph O'Brien's newcomer Cascabel, a half-sister to the useful Make It Up, is one to note.
