Aidan O'Brien has no less than six entered, all three-year-olds. Asking's close third in a Fairyhouse Group 3 is strong form though she hasn't raced over a trip this short since her debut. Her stable companion Music Box was behind her at Fairyhouse but won a handicap over this course and distance on her next start. UK raider Carolinae has shown her best form on the all-weather and REHANA looks the class-act here despite being beaten a long way in the Irish 1000 Guineas. Michael Halford's filly had earlier won a Group 3 here in May and the 3lb she receives from the ultra-consistent recent Cork Listed winner Only Mine may just swing things in her favour.
