Verdict
PINK SANDS will likely be a short price to go one better than when second to the well-regarded Divine Spirit at Windsor, form that has already been franked. She hung left in front that day but will have the stands’ rail to help this evening. Airbrush was a €145,000 yearling and is related to several winners so is worth monitoring. Aryaaf was a 180,000gns yearling but may find this trip on the sharp side. Living In The Past is speedily-bred so any market support should be noted.
