Verdict

The 2.1 million guineas purchase Hence drops down to 6f for the first time having placed over 7f last year. The Ballydoyle filly is preferred to others with a handicap mark including Daliyah and Pretty Boy Floyd. Scorpion Black is another likely improver while Katie Cruel, Crown Leah, Castletownshend and Swing Till Dawn were all placed at various times last season. But the latter’s stablemate and newcomer COME AT DAWN is entered in the Irish 1000 Guineas and the half-sister to a Listed winner gets a speculative vote to make a winning start with Redhawk another newcomer to note.
