Verdict

Palace will find life easier in this after failing to threaten in either the Irish 1000 guineas or the Oaks at Epsom. She's preferred to stablemates Beyond Brilliance and Dance With Another but finished just behind Avenue Gabriel in the Guineas. The latter's dam is related to an Oaks winner so Paul Deegan's filly will probably stay this longer distance. CARLA BIANCA definitely gets the trip as she won her maiden by five lengths over 1m2f at Navan and may well be good enough to land this before a crack at the big one. Circling also has decent claims after a third in the Munster Oaks at Cork and should be in the mix once again.
