In depth

Verdict

Aidan O'Brien and Jessica Harrington have shared the last four of these. The former relies on MOTHER EARTH, who chased home the exciting Frenetic at Navan before placed in the Albany at Royal Ascot. That experience may just give her the edge over Sussex Garden, who overcame greenness to catch Hazel right on the line over the track and trip. Luminesce attracted good support at Fairyhouse and stayed on strongly to score over this trip and is also certain to be suited by the easier going. Inner Beauty makes a quick reappearance after an impressive victory at Limerick and deserves a place in this higher grade though she wasn't far in front of Give Her A Squeeze at Tipperary earlier.
