DAAHYEH is the clear form pick on her second to Love in the Moyglare Stud at the Curragh. She had Under The Stars behind that day and also won the Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot earlier before finishing runner-up to the smart Raffle Prize in the Duchess of Cambridgeshire Stakes on the July course here. Love’s yard are represented here by Leopardstown Listed winner Blissful. She’s improving but is probably not among the elite at Ballydoyle. Cloak Of Spirits was favourite for the May Hill at Doncaster after an impressive debut success at Ascot but she didn’t quite get home. A drop back to 7f might suit and she shouldn’t be written off just yet. There is scope for improvement in Festival Day, Hot Touch and Alash Orda but this looks a big ask. Stylistique is probably capable of picking up some black type but it maybe not today.
