Aidan O'Brien must be despairing of getting a race out of the superbly bred Ballroom, a daughter of Storm Cat out of 1000 Guineas winner Virginia Waters, and she didn't impress with a moderate run at Gowran last time. Gonebeyondthemoon should be suited by longer trips this summer and she's one to note when getting a handicap mark while Laughing didn't appreciate being dropped down in trip at Dundalk after a very promising debut over a mile there. Katherine Lee did well enough on her debut at the Curragh in August though she may just need the run and the vote goes to BREAK BREAD, who came with a flying finish when a head behind Lady Fashion over 7f at Dundalk on her reappearance and will be ideally suited by the extra furlong.
