Verdict

Aidan O'Brien has a fine record in this and has four entries with Seamie Heffernan on board High Heels, top rated of the quartet after a fine run when a close third in the Munster Oaks at Cork. Ger Lyons, who won this last year, has two entries with Colin Keane on Party House, who found 1m5f just beyond her in a Navan Listed race on just her second start. SENSE OF STYLE's fifth place behind Joan Of Arc in the 1,000 Guineas Trial at Leopardstown looks better by the minute and Joseph O'Brien's filly looked as though a step-up in trip would suit after finishing mid-division in the Curragh classic so she gets the nod. The stable also run Mariesque, an impressive Gowran maiden winner now stepping up in class.
