      Verdict

      Aidan O’Brien attempts to win this for the third time in succession though Oaks winner Tuesday needs to put a below par effort in the Irish Derby behind her. Her compatriots Magical Lagoon and La Petite Coco both won Group 1 contests at the Curragh last time with the former landing the Irish Oaks and the latter successful in the Pretty Polly but ALPINISTA (NAP) looks the one to side with. Unbeaten last year including a hat-trick of Group 1 races in Germany, she made a winning reappearance in the Prix de Saint-Cloud and Sir Mark Prescott’s mare could prove even stronger this season. Nassau Stakes third Lilac Road steps up in trip while the French filly Raclette and Poptronic are both upped in class.
