There's a slight doubt about whether Pretty Polly heroine MISTY FOR ME will prove as effective over this shorter trip on faster ground, though she did win the Moyglare Stud Stakes over 7f on a similar surface at the Curragh as a two-year-old when old rivals Together and Wild Wind were behind. Seamie Heffernan's mount still gets the vote, however, as she is clearly a high-class filly and may still be improving. Barefoot Lady will probably race close to the pace but has the ability to stay on for a place and preferred to Emiyna, who is now blinkered after failing to run up to her best when favourite for a Group 3 over C&D last month. She finished a long way behind the selection in the 1000 Guineas but did beat Lolly For Dolly over 7f at the Curragh in the spring. Emulous also beat Tommy Stack's filly at the Curragh in May and followed up at Fairyhouse in June but she looks to have a bit to find to beat the three-year-olds in this higher grade.
