Verdict
Nurpur has been an expensive failure in all four starts but she's out of a mare who won over 1m4f so this step up in trip is likely to suit as is the testing ground. She finished less than two lengths in front of Morning With Ivan at Dundalk last time , however, and is by no means certain to confirm the form as Jim Bolger's filly was making her racecourse debut and ran on strongly. GREEK GODDESS was the outsider of three Ballydoyle runners at the Curragh in June but ran very well behind Sinaniya. She's by Galileo out of a 6f Group 3 winner so should have the pace and stamina for this and is handed the vote. Long Away is also by Galileo and really caught the eye on her debut over a mile at the Curragh where she stayed on nicely while Salhooda and Velvet Ribbon, the latter from the family of Goldikova, are newcomers to note.
