Verdict
CELESTIAL OBJECT is the form pick on her run in a Curragh Listed race a fortnight ago when up with the pace for most of the way. She'll appreciate the drop in trip and should have the call over the more exposed Soineanta, who will have found 6f too short at Naas and a mile too far at the Curragh on her previous start. Bestrella could find this on the sharp side while Innervisions was beaten a long way at Tipperary but Pirate Lass belied a huge SP with a very promising debut over 6f at the Curragh. Aidan O'Brien's newcomers Evening Primrose, a sister to two winners, and Lovelier, a sister to four winners including the top-class Winter, are obvious threats.
