Tim Easterby is a rare visitor to Ireland so the presence of ART POWER is significant. Very impressive at Newcastle, she went to Royal Ascot for a handicap and hardly broke sweat in an impressive display - this is tougher but a four-timer beckons. Millisle has to be a major threat as the Cheveley Park winner didn't stay the mile in the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket and didn't find the necessary speed in the Commonwealth Cup. This is an obvious drop in class and she holds Royal Lytham on that latter run. Summer Sands, who won the Two Year Old Trophy at Redcar for Richard Fahey, has joined Joseph O'Brien and will be better for his run in a Listed race here.
