Puppetshow has been narrowly beaten in all four starts to date and looks best of the Ballydoyle trio though there may be better value elsewhere. Three Sisters was a 33/1 chance when finishing strongly over this trip at Dundalk in September and Pat Smullen's presence suggests Tracey Collins means business. Madame Cherie made a very encouraging debut behind Hydrangea here in August before finding Group 3 company too much on a return visit. Araca has a smart middle-distance pedigree and is one to note though it's the Godolphin-owned NEW TERMS, a daughter of New Approach out of a Group 1 winner, who gets a speculative vote to make a successful debut. Malibu Magic is progressing and looks best of the remainder.
