Verdict
Dianthus was a 100/1 chance at Gowran where she very nearly created a huge shock when only caught in the dying strides over a mile on heavy ground. NEW TO TOWN has come up against some smart performers including in a Group 3 at Naas and though she looks vulnerable this looks a good opportunity. Spanish Soprano and Teardrop Island were behind Dramatically at Naas but both caught the eye with late surges and will have come on markedly for the experience. The winner is trained by Aidan O'Brien, who had eight entered at the early stage and relies three. Hence was beaten at odds-on at Dundalk and will need to do better. Most Gifted is by War Front out of a mare who has produced winners with her first four offspring while the Galileo filly Sarrocchi cost 215,000 euros. Chilled White is a beautifully-bred filly by Dawn Approach who is one to keep an eye on as is Ger Lyons' Scream, a half-sister to two winners.
