Verdict

COOLMORE is a full sister, by Galileo, to the classic winners Gleneagles and Marvellous and the owners would hardly have given her this name unless she was expected to carry it with distinction. She's up against rivals who have shown enough to suggest she won't have things her own way but is taken to make a successful start. Ceol An Ghra ran on strongly over 7f here behind Aidan O'Brien's How High The Moon so the extra furlong will suit while Lorendano did enough at Gowran to merit respect. Star Of Kings finished clear of the remainder when runner-up to another Ballydoyle winner in Lieutenant General at Leopardstown while Pat Smullen has chosen Zalfana over the other Dermot Weld entry Magnolia Rose.
