An excellent turnout for this Group 3 which was won by Aidan O'Brien's Cabaret last season. The Ballydoyle team saddle three here and it looks difficult to choose between them. Johnny Murtagh has chosen Together, who will be fancied after her defeat of Puttore over the C&D and there looks more to come from the daughter Of Galileo. Looking Lovely ran moderately in a Listed event at the Curragh after scoring here in June but Gemstone impressed when beating Kissable at Limerick after finishing behind Together on her debut here. Kissable went on to beat Palinode a neck over tonight's C&D and that pair have plenty of scope but the vote in a fascinating race goes to LAUGHING LASHES, who produced a superb debut effort when beaten a short-head by Ballydoyle's very promising Wild Wind at the Curragh and will have come on a bundle for that experience.
