Verdict

Roly Poly won a Group 3 at the Curragh before landing this for Aidan O’Brien last year and the Ballydoyle trainer is following the same path with CLEMMIE (NAP). The latter won with plenty to spare at the Curragh with Mamba Noire back in third and further progress is expected today. Nyaleti found only one too good in the Chesham over 7f at Ascot last time while Out Of The Flames finished third in the Queen Mary at the same meeting with Darkanna and Chica La Habana behind. Mistress Of Venice finished ahead of the selection in the Albany earlier and So Hi Society was placed in a Listed race over track and trip last time.
