Oh Grace gained a very easy victory on fast going over the course and distance before a moderate run in much softer conditions at Royal Ascot. She'll be more at home here while Elusive Beauty takes a step-up in trip after a close third behind Roly Poly at this level at the Curragh last month. That's the best form on view but PROMISE TO BE TRUE (NAP) looked potentially useful at Tipperary and she gets the nod. The Ballydoyle filly, a daughter of Galileo and full-sister to Maybe, took a long time to warm up that day but once hitting her stride powered her way to an impressive victory. Intricately also made a bright start on soft ground at Gowran and Drumfad Bay beat the odds-on How over 6f at Naas where he looked certain to benefit from this sort of trip.
