Verdict

Aidan O'Brien and Dermot Weld have won seven of the last ten with the former just having the edge. ALICE SPRINGS became a bit disappointing after her debut victory but ended the campaign winning a huge prize at Newmarket before just failing to overhaul Catch A Glimpse in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf at Keeneland. She looks to have the edge over her stable companion How High The Moon and also over Weld's Juliette Fair, a maiden winner on fast ground here but beaten in a Listed contest at Fairyhouse. Now Or Never, runner-up in the Group 2 Futurity at the Curragh, finished last in the Moyglare on the same track while Queen Of Sicily looked the type to do better in her second season when beaten in the Anglesey after her Naas maiden success. Radiantly looks best of the remainder.
