In depth

Verdict

Aidan O'Brien has three entries with Ryan Moore on board DOWER HOUSE, placed at this level at Gowran before well beaten in the 1000 Guineas at the Curragh. She's handed the vote with Maybe Just Maybe looking next best of the Ballydoyle trio. The year older Didn'thavemuchtodo hit form on quick ground last summer, completing a double before beaten a neck in a Gowran Listed contest where she had Cigamia behind. She wasn't disgraced in Group 2 company on her final start in September but has an absence to overcome.
