Verdict

Three-year-olds have won all but two of the last 10 renewals with Aidan O'Brien and Dermot Weld winning two each. Outstanding looks the best of the Ballydoyle pair after her third place in the Belmont Oaks though potential backers will need to forgive a poor run in the Yorkshire Oaks. She had earlier beaten Stellar Glow in a Listed contest at Naas and should do so again if back to her best while Devonshire's close third in the 1000 Guineas here is a stand-out piece of form and she had Bocca Baciata behind that day. The latter was just a short-head behind BROOCH when the pair occupied the places in a Group 2 here last month but it's Dermot Weld's four-year-old, who has only had six runs in her life and has a Group 2 victory to her credit, who is taken to get back to winning ways.
