In depth

Verdict

Empowering created a surprise when beating Caprella and her own stable companion After in a Naas Listed event over 6f last week and, by the way she finished, she'll be even better suited by today's trip. The runner-up, who is in foal, was caught close home with After staying on strongly and LADY WINGSHOT not far behind. The latter was having her first start since September and had anything but a clear run so she's taken to reverse the form with the trio who finished in front of her with Rock On Chiara behind and held. Whether she'll be good enough to beat Yellow Rosebud is another matter as Dermot Weld's filly, who won the Irish 1000 Guineas Trial on her reappearance, wasn't at her best in the classic at the Curragh and has had a nice break in preparation for this. It's an intriguing contest but Jim Bolger's filly is handed the vote.
