      Verdict

      William Haggas, Ralph Beckett and Aidan O'Brien have shared the last five renewals, the latter scoring with subsequent Irish Oaks winner Seventh Heaven a year ago. Pocketfullofdreams represents the in-form Ballydoyle team this time and she's well clear on official ratings though she's looked a bit limited in her three runs this season over shorter trips. The step-up in distance may help though the Haggas-trained THE SKY IS BLAZING has a huge reputation and hopefully can live up to it here. A daughter of Sea The Stars, she's a full-sister to Group 2 middle-distance winner Endless Times and cost 240,000gns as a yearling. She made a very impressive debut over a mile at Newcastle and this should be much more like her trip. Beckett saddles Camerone, but she'll need to have improved massively from her Brighton maiden victory where she only just got up. The remaining trio will need the principals to seriously underperform to get involved.
