Joseph O’Brien sends three over from Ireland with Baroness and Damselfly both winning at Leopardstown recently and Shalailah scoring at Dundalk. The former won over today’s trip and makes most appeal of that trio but AWESOMETANK is the more progressive. The Haggas filly has been winning decent handicaps and scored over 7f here before going in again over a mile at York last time. She looks ready for this step up in class and is also preferred to Elysium Dream and Nottingham maiden winner Hadith. Wild Impala has a bit to find on these terms while stablemate Pioneer Spirit and the Chapple-Hyam filly Orsera made winning debuts at Haydock and Leicester respectively.
