This has been a good race for Ballydoyle in recent years with five of the past 10 winners and they have three entered this time. Joseph is on board Bracelet and she looks the pick of the trio having scored on ground with some give over the course and distance. The Galileo filly Marvellous is out of a Cherry Hinton winner and looked a nice prospect at Navan in October. Avenue Gabriel made a successful debut in June and was then placed twice at Group level before landing a Listed race at the Curragh. She didn't enjoy the fast ground in the Fillies' Mile at Newmarket and today's conditions should suit her better. BALANSIYA made her debut in an ordinary maiden here in November and turned it into a procession. She enjoyed the soft conditions and, though likely to be even better when the going dries out, she should be good enough. Harry's Princess made her debut on Polytrack at Dundalk in November and was impressive enough though she'll need much more here as will Remember You, though she could put her experience to good use in these conditions.
