Verdict

Joseph O'Brien saddles the top three in the weights and though Sebastiano Ricci has the best form he's well exposed and BARONESS may have the edge. She wasn't disgraced in her opening two runs at the Curragh but caught the eye with a late flourish over 7f at Dundalk after losing ground at the start. Miratio takes a big step-up in trip after a moderate effort over 6f at Dundalk but Amor Fati showed a bit more dash on his nursery debut at Gowran. None of the remainder can be dismissed in a tight-looking nursery.
