Verdict
UK trainers have won five of the last 10 renewals and JOYEUSE should continue the trend. Lady Cecil's filly wasn't disgraced in the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket before beating Gathering Power in very good style in a Haydock Listed contest. She's 3lb better off with the runner-up and should have no problems confirming the form. Morning Frost landed a Listed contest when trained in France but has disappointed for new connections and Majestic Queen has been running over a mile so may not have the pace for this. Seas Of Wells landed a Curragh maiden last month and didn't do much wrong behind Due Diligence in a Naas Listed event later while Sparrow is something of an unknown having performed with credit behind her stablemate Bracelet in a Group 3 here in March.
