Aidan O'Brien has three entries in this. Somehow is out of the dual Oaks winner Alexandrova while Ring The Bell is related to several useful winners and Pretty Perfect made a very encouraging debut in a strong Gowran maiden. Flying Fairies also made a bright start behind Raymonda at the Curragh while Kevin Manning's choice of Girl Of The Hour over the experienced Silver Cups could prove significant. Twin Falls has been up against it in decent company and once again faces some promising types including WAITAKI, who was a 33/1 chance when staying on very strongly to finish second to her stablemate Kalisma at Naas and can go one better.
