This looks competitive but there was much to like about April Rose's neck defeat over a mile at Killarney and an extra furlong plus the experience gained should see her see her in the frame again. Astadash has been a bit disappointing after her narrow defeat by Ennistymon at Leopardstown while Grenadine also appears to have gone backwards but Orchid Gardens continues in good form and can challenge for a place. SAGRADA FAMILIA (NAP) was only just over a length behind So Wonderful and Lady Anner at the Curragh and the first two have franked the form in no uncertain terms. Joseph O'Brien's filly can get off the mark though both St Clerans and Theophile are running well enough to get involved.
