Bean Feasa looked the likely winner when travelling well at Gowran but found the extended 1m1f beyond her. She should do better over today's trip though Aidan O'Brien looks strongly represented. Asking made a successful reappearance at Dundalk before finding the odds-on Glastonbury Song too strong for her on a return visit but ELIZABETH BROWNING may prove best of the Ballydoyle pair. She gained her only victory to date in a nursery here in October, with Shes Ranger behind, and looked an improved filly on her reappearance in a Group 3 at Naas. Holy Cat had all of her three starts, including a debut success here, over 6f so takes a step up in trip but Perle De La Mer made an impressive start at Galway and probably found the going too testing in a Group 3 at the Curragh later.
