ONLY fittingly found only one too good when odds-on at Naas in June but that defeat looks better in hindsight with both the winner and the third having gone in subsequently. Aidan O’Brien’s filly gets another chance in this given she finished in front of Toriangel when going close over track and trip back in April. The latter has her first outing since while Grant Wood is preferred to stablemate Theophilos. Cara Susanna will likely improve and Gambe Veloci is a half-brother to five winners representing last year’s winning yard.
