Aidan O'Brien has won five of the last 10 renewals and has a quartet of entries this time. Up was surprisngly beaten by Marvada in a four-runner race at Dundalk but the pace was farcical and the result is best ignored. Her close fourth in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies' was a superb effort and she looks a threat to all. Ishvana was beaten in a handicap on her return and was easily put in her place by Fire Lily in the Group 3 Anglesy Stakes at the Curragh in July when After finished runner-up. David Wachman's filly was runner-up in two Group 1's on her final starts and her overall form is good enough for this.
