Pillow finished just ahead of the more experienced Focussed when runner-up over 6f here on her debut. Harlem Shake was further behind and Johnny Murtagh's filly looks to have leading claims. But though HIDDEN OASIS may only have managed fifth behind War Command on his introduction at Leopardstown, that form looks much better in hindsight with the latter's subsequent victory in the Coventry at Ascot and David Wachman's charge gets the nod. Tarabiyn, Bleeding Hearts and Simple Love are newcomers to note for any significant support.
