Verdict
Elizabeth Browning has a classic winners pedigree but has been disappointing as she's only won once in 13 starts. She's still managed to earn a rating of 93 and this is her level though MUZBID could improve past her. Dermot Weld's charge was having only his second start when gaining a comfortable victory at Killarney and though this is tougher he looks the type to go on to better things. Perle De La Mer has run in two Group 3's since her Galway maiden victory so this represents a big drop in class while both Gold Spinner, who battled on well at Cork, and Dundalk winner Storm Ryker, are entitled to make enough progress to get into contention.
