Lush Lashes has enjoyed a magnificent season and showed she is still at the top of her game when winning the Matron Stakes at Leopardstown last time. However she's been on the go for some time and KATIYRA could be the one here. She was given a break after disappointing behind today's rival Moonstone in the Irish Oaks but wins in her last two starts show she is heading towards a peak performance. Any further rain would be in her favour too. Johnny Murtagh has passed Moonstone over for You'resothrilling, who was having her first race of the season when fourth behind Lush Lashes last time. If she comes on for that run she has to be in the shake-up. Course and distance winner Treat Gently could be the pick of the home team.
