DANZIGER has lots of pace in her pedigree and made a very encouraging debut behind the more experienced Gold Lace at the Curragh. She should do better on today's ground and gets the vote to go one better. Aidan O'Brien won this last year with So Stylish and relies on Ahimsa here. A daughter of Holy Roman Emperor, she's related to several winners though another furlong wouldn't go amiss. An Ghalanta is by the same sire but out of of a much more stoutly-bred mare and we may not see the best of her for a while. Yet another daughter of Holy Roman Emperor, Blue Mimosa, is the first foal of a dam placed over 1m2f so she could need a bit further and a bigger threat may emerge in the shape of Fire Lily, a daughter of Dansili out of a very speedy mare who won over 5f as a juvenile.
