Verdict
Agartha has come up against smart rivals in all three runs over shorter and with the longer trip likely to suit should be thereabouts again. She only just finished in front of Viareggio at Navan and the latter is another certain to be suited by the extra. Karkiyna also caught the eye when only a length behind her at Naas in the race won by Sacred Bridge, whose stable run SMILE OF LOVE here. She made her debut in what looked a strong Curragh maiden and stayed on nicely after not getting the clearest of runs and can improve enough to take this though Twinkle, a full-sister to Derby winner Anthony Van Dyck, is an obvious one to keep an eye on for Ballydoyle. She holds a Moyglare entry as does Homeless Songs, a daughter of Frankel out of a mare who produced a Listed winner with her first foal.
