In depth

Verdict

Freedom Of Speech did well to finish third behind stable companion Missing Matron in the opening juvenile race of the campaign at the Curragh as she's by Australia and will be better suited by this trip and further. Aidan O'Brien has made a flying start to the campaign and Ryan Moore travels over to ride Contarelli Chapel, a half-sister to six winners including Group 1 winner Fancy Blue though this looks on the short side. Joseph O'Brien has two entries with Sangria, a 185,000gns yearling, having a much speedier pedigree than Agartha. Donnacha saddles SIMPLY GLORIOUS, a sister to three winners including the smart US Navy Flag and Roly Poly, and she gets the nod. Ger Lyons is going well and Juncture has a nice pedigree though may need further.
