Verdict
Aidan O'Brien has four entries including the newcomer Pavlenko, who is by the brilliant Deep Impact and the first foal of the stable's Group 1 winner Maybe. The remaining trio all have experience though at this stage Puppetshow looks the best of them having finished a close fourth on heavy ground at Naas. It will be a surprise if she's not involved in the finish though TEMPERA also made a promising debut and she gets the vote. Dermot Weld's filly showed good pace over this trip in a huge field at the Curragh and it was only through lack of experience she didn't finish closer. Claregate Street caught the eye in that latter race and with her yard in superb form she should get closer. Dime A Dance is the third foal of a mare who has already produced two winners including at Listed level so she's one to keep an eye on. Ribbons 'n' Roses is taking a big step-up in trip after racing exclusively over the minimum.
