In depth

Verdict

After placed efforts in a Group 3 here and the Albany Stakes, CELTIC BEAUTY never got to grips in the Group 2 Duke Of Cambridge at Newmarket and finished last. This is obviously a huge drop in class though that run was a concern. American Lady has also been running in much stronger company and wasn't far behind the selection in that Group 3 here in May so has to be a threat. After a fair debut here, Phase After Phase started a short-priced favourite at Bellewstown but couldn't cope with Millisle, who was receiving 8lb but has been beaten subsequently. Love Bracelet made an encouraging debut at the Curragh before well beaten in the Queen Mary but should still make progress and is no forlorn hope.
