Verdict
COPPERBEECH has looked very impressive in winning her two races to date and can strike at the highest level. Andre Fabre's charge impressed with the way she travelled over course and distance last time and she looks to be right out of the top drawer. The home team looks very strong here and Proportional, Plumania and Pill are all potential improvers. Johnny Murtagh rides Moyglare Stakes winner Again, who has arguably the strongest form in the book. Jim Bolger is double-handed and Kevin Manning prefers Maoineach to stablemate Paidrin. His partner won a Group Three race over six furlongs on her debut and will improve for this considerable step up in trip.
