Verdict
KEY TO MY HEART was beaten less than a length when third at the Curragh ahead of I'm So Fancy and stablemate Wild Irish Rose - she can open her account in this. Tradfest showed some promise on her debut over 7f at the Curragh and is preferred to Holiday Girl, a well-beaten third here but sporting Godolphin’s first colours ahead of the newcomer Petticoat. Aneen is a half-sister to stablemate and this year’s Irish 2000 Guineas winner Awtaad while Dilmun is preferred of the David Wachman duo and Kiss The Wind makes more appeal than stable companion and newcomer Artistic Melody.
