Verdict

Lightning Amber has been placed three times in strong maiden company before outclassed at Group 3 level at the Curragh. Her experience will stand her in good stead though she looks exposed unlike HELIAC. Ger Lyons' filly attracted very good support on her debut in a big field at the Curragh but didn't get the run of the race before staying on in eye-catching fashion. That will have brought her to concert pitch and she can gain compensation though the Ballydoyle battalions are likely to have a serious impact. All are superbly bred daughters of Galileo. Flowering Peach is out of a USA Grade 3 winner; Quote is related to eight winners including a German Group 1 winner; Four Leaf Clover's mare has produced winners with her first twelve foals to run including Flag Of Honour, while Flying is a full-sister to Group 1 winners Misty For Me and Ballydoyle. Jim Bolger's National Identity is closely related to the Group 1 winner Loch Garman and may prove quicker at this stage than stable companion Oiche Re Gealai, who is bred for middle-distances.
