Verdict
Mick Channon has a good record on his visits to Ireland and Gospel represents the yard here, though she's facing a much stiffer test than when making a winning start at Nottingham. The Ballydoyle pair, Coral Beach and Mona Lisa's Smile, have had enough chances but Burmese Waltz has been making very good progress and went into plenty of notebooks after her Dundalk victory. Colin Keane prefers the latter to stable companion My Laureate, whom he was on board when she made a bright start at Fairyhouse, while Foxtrot Liv enjoyed the fast conditions when easily beating a big field in an auction race at the Curragh. Jessica Harrington holds a strong hand with TRETHIAS and Sparkle'n'joy. The former showed the benefit of her debut with a sparkling performance over a mile at the Curragh and may just have the edge, though her stablemate didn't get the run of the race in a Group 3 over the track and trip last time.
