Aidan O'Brien won this last year with Qualify so WAY TO MY HEART has something to live up to and was thought good enough to run in a Group 3 on her debut. She was very green that day and can be expected to show massive improvement so gets the nod. Ms Brinkleys attempted to make all at Down Royal and though one-paced when headed she'll have come on for the run as will Purple Velvet, who never got into the action behind Alice Springs at the Curragh in June. The Godolphin-owned French Blue cost 130,000gns and is related to two winners while Glenmayne has even more winning relatives in her pedigree though mostly over further. Bulgadin Lady is very speedily bred and is one to note in the market.
