Aidan O'Brien had four of the original 11 entries and has left a trio in. Dance With Another has run poorly on testing ground so far this season and could do with quicker going. Terrific was very impressive when completing a double at the Curragh and this is a natural progression before going on to better things but Joseph's presence on board DAZZLING suggests she's the one to be on. Undoubtedly disappointing in two Listed events after her debut victory, she's entered in all the top races and there should be much more to come. The maiden Achnaha, runner-up in a Listed contest in November after a narrow defeat by Dance With Another at the Curragh, returned to action in a Group 3 over a mile at the Curragh and produced a very encouraging effort. I'm Yours, runner-up to Marvellous on her debut here, had no problems going one better at Leopardstown in October while Ceisteach reappeared with a battling victory over this trip at Leopardstown and her fitness is a big plus.
