    Verdict

    Having been kept in training, MINDING will be targeting all of the top races this year over this trip. She’s also in the Lockinge later this month and this should be a nice pipe-opener for Aidan O’Brien’s three-times Classic winner who has already won seven times at Group 1 level. Johannes Vermeer may be in as a pacemaker, though was held up when third on his only start last year when favourite at Newmarket - he’s also a Group 1 winner. Brendan Brackan is a tough performer around this level but looks up against it on these terms and so does Jaqen H'ghar. Moonlight Magic is useful but lacks the class of the Ballydoyle pair.
